Abstract

Being simple organisms, unicellular microalgae are commonly used in several industrial applications such as food, environmental technologies, energy, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and aquaculture due to their specific features. Although the interest in microalgae and their application areas are increasing day by day, various problems may be encountered for their industrial scale production. Varieties of problems may be faced in their industrial scale production despite the interest on microalgae and their application areas are increasing day by day, Growth kinetics of organisms and target product formations are the basic stages in the processes when any problem that may occur during these stages affects the entire system negatively. One of the ways to prevent these problems is to develop kinetic models by means of using parameters that affect the growth of cells and the amount of product. Numerical expression of the results gained during the tproduction is provided with mathematical models, and thus, reliable data that can be used in scaling up and similar processes are obtained. In this article, the models used in the literature are summarized by evaluating the kinetic models developed for the growth of microalgae cells and product production in terms of substrate, light and temperature parameters.

Özet

Tek hücreli, basit organizmalar olan mikroalgler, sahip oldukları karakteristik özellikleri sayesinde gıda, çevre teknolojileri, enerji, kozmetik, ilaç, akuakültür gibi çeşitli endüstrilerde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Mikroalglere ve uygulama alanlarına olan ilgi her geçen gün artış gösterse de endüstriyel çaptaki üretimlerde çeşitli sorunlarla karşı karşıya kalınabilmektedir. Organizmaların büyüme kinetiği ve hedef ürün eldesi proseslerdeki temel aşamalardan olup, bu aşamalarda meydana gelebilecek herhangi bir problem, sistemin tamamını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu problemleri önlemek için izlenebilecek yollardan biri, hücrelerin büyümesini ve ürün miktarını etkileyen parametrelerin kullanımıyla kinetik modeller geliştirilmesidir. Matematiksel modeller ile üretim sırasında elde edilen sonuçların sayısal olarak ifadesi sağlanmakta ve böylece ölçek büyütmede ve benzer proseslerde kullanılabilecek güvenilir veriler elde edilmektedir. Bu makalede, mikroalg hücrelerinin büyümesi ve ürün üretimine dair geliştirilen kinetik modeller substrat, ışık ve sıcaklık parametreleri açısından değerlendirilerek literatürde kullanılan modeller özetlenmiştir.
