Empirical and Simulative Evaluations of White Fluorescence-type Light Emitting Diodes as Algal Growing Light Sources Based on the Photosynthetic Oxygen Evolution by Synechocystis spp. PCC6803

Abstract

Recently, applications of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for enhancing the efficiency of photosynthesis have attracted the attentions by many researchers and agriculturalists. In the present study, we proposed both empirical (experimental) and simulative evaluations of chlorophyll-targeting monochromic and white fluorescence-type LEDs as the light sources for algal photosynthesis based on the evolution of O₂ by Synechocystis sp. PCC6803.
