My name is Tjibbe Chris Kuipers and I'm investigating the 
effect of light intermittance on the cultivation of 
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in an Airlift Loop Reactor.

Lightintensity is used to regulate the dilution-speed. The 
problem is that the algae are sticking to the glass, so the 
intensity measured is not any longer related to the 
concentration of algae.

Does anyone know how to prevent the algae from sticking to 
the glass-surface? The reactor is now running for two 
weeks, and the problem appeared when the liquid velocity 
was enlarged.

I would appriciate it if someone could help me with this 
problem.

Regards,
