As the world's natural fuel sources continue to deplete, the search for alternative fuel sources intensifies. A promising fuel source alternative is biofuels from microalgae, due to it being a renewable source, its wide availability, and also its high production rate. This paper reviews recent developments in microalgae culture medium, cultivation systems and growth modes. The importance of identifying the type of medium suitable for microalgae cultivation is highlighted along with descriptions and comparison of the medium types that include freshwater, saltwater and wastewater. The different cultivation systems such as open system, closed system, dark system and offshore cultivation used for cultivating microalgae are discussed, along with a study on the impact of large scale cultivation using these systems. Besides that, various growth modes for microalgae cultivation like phototrophic, heterotrophic, mixotrophic, photoheterotophic modes are reviewed.

随着世界上自然燃料来源的不断枯竭，对替代燃料来源的搜寻日益激烈。一种有前途的燃料替代品是来自微藻类的生物燃料，因为它是可再生资源，具有广泛的可利用性，而且生产率高。本文回顾了微藻培养基，培养系统和生长方式的最新发展。强调了确定适合微藻培养的培养基类型的重要性，以及对包括淡水，盐水和废水在内的培养基类型的描述和比较。讨论了用于栽培微藻的不同栽培系统，例如开放系统，封闭系统，暗系统和近海栽培，并研究了使用这些系统进行大规模栽培的影响。除此之外，
