      As the periodic emission of light pulses by light emitting diodes (LEDs) is known to stimulate growth or induce high value biocompounds in microalgae, this flashing light regime was tested on growth and biochemical composition of the microalgae <i>Nannochloropsis gaditana, Koliella antarctica</i> and <i>Tetraselmis chui</i>. At low flashing light frequencies (e.g., 5 and 50 Hz, Duty cycle = 0.05), ...
