A robust methodology is described herein for determining the algae biomass photoautotrophic yield (in gram of biomass synthesized per μmole of absorbed photons), which is useful for reliable biomass productivity estimates for selecting, comparing, and optimizing algae cultures for large-scale production. Another method is provided herein to increase dissolved inorganic carbon concentration and alleviate limitations common in aerated small-scale batches. This carbonate addition method allows for a more accurate determination of the algae culture photoautotrophic yield under small-scale experimental conditions. Also provided herein is a method for estimating a light spectrum-dependent scatter-corrected algae-specific absorption cross section, which permits the use of Beer's law to estimate the fraction of photons absorbed by a given algae culture. Determination of the algae photoautotrophic yield and absorption cross section enable a full photobioreactor parameterization and the resulting capacity to achieve highly controlled nutrients-supply conditions.
