[Objective] The paper aims to provide references to cultivate I.galbana in a large scale and explore its medical value.[Method] I.galbana had been cultivated in different light-path flat plate bioreactors,and the growth condition and content of organic matter within cells of I.galbana had been analyzed.[Result] Growth rate and volumetric productivity of I.galbana cells increased as light-path of flat plate bioreactors decreased,however,daily areal output rate rose with the increasing of light path.The smaller the light path of flat plate bioreactors was,the more content of total lipids,protein and polysaccharide it had in I.galbana cells.[Conclusion] It is an effective way to improve production efficiently and reduce the cost by selecting the suitable bioreactors.
