The aim of this review is to provide insights into the upstream processing of microalgae, and to highlight the advantages of each step. This review discusses the most important steps of the upstream processing in microalgae research such as cultivation modes, photobioreactors design, preparation of culture medium, control of environmental factors, supply of microalgae seeds and monitoring of microalgal growth. An extensive list of bioreactors and their working volumes used, elemental composition of some well-known formulated cultivation media, different types of wastewater used for microalgal cultivation and environmental variables studied in microalgae research has been compiled in this review from the vast literature. This review also highlights existing challenges and knowledge gaps in upstream processing of microalgae and future research needs are suggested.
本次综述的目的在于深入探讨微藻的上游处理过程，并突出各步骤的优势。本综述讨论了微藻研究中上游处理的最重要步骤，如培养方式、光生物反应器设计、培养基制备、环境因素控制、微藻种子供应和微藻生长监测。本综述从大量文献中广泛收集了生物反应器及其使用的工作容积、一些知名配方培养基的元素组成、用于微藻培养的不同类型废水以及微藻研究中研究的环境变量。本综述还强调了微藻上游处理中存在的挑战和知识空白，并提出了未来的研究需求。
