The objective of the project is to design a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system optimized for the accumulation of high-value lipids enriched with stable isotopes during the growth of microalgae. The lighting system allows the selection and adjustment of wavelengths in order to influence both the quantity and quality of the biomass produced, by promoting the production of specific biomolecules. Iso-Biokem aims to increase the production of certain high-value lipids and sugars through the understanding of optimal lighting conditions.
