Abstract
The invention relates to a bioreactor including: a light source (); a light sensor () facing said light source; a vat () that is placed between the light source () and the light sensor (), said vat being intended to receive a culture medium comprising a cellular culture of photosynthetic microorganisms; a controller () connected to the light sensor () in order to control the vat () to obtain a chosen cellular-culture concentration (xi) in the culture medium during a working period, said light source () being capable of emitting incident light (L) of an input light intensity (Iin) in the direction of the vat (), and the light sensor () being capable of measuring an output light intensity (Iout) and of transmitting data relating to this intensity (Iout) to the controller for the control of the vat; and a system () for controlling the light source (), this system being arranged to adjust, during a period shorter than or equal to said working period, the input light intensity (Iin) to a setpoint value allowing a cellular stress to be induced in certain at least of said photosynthetic microorganisms.
