    Dry matter, chlorophyll a, optical density, protein and lipid production of microalgae Spirulina platensis cultured in tubular and panel photobioreactors, and pond in June and September were compared. The highest dry matter of 4.951±0.03 gL-1 and 71.89±1% protein were determined from tubular photobioreactor, while the lowest dry matter of 2.710±0.02 gL-1 and 53.92±0.8% protein were recorded from panel photobioreactor. S. platensis cultured in the pond have 3.150±0.08 gL-1 dry matter and 70.29±0,8% protein. The water temperatures in June and September were similar, and it was observed that the culture in the panel was affected to the higher temperature (39.35±1.82 °C, 40.22±0.70 °C), negatively. The highest optical density (3.280±0.009) and lipid (7.74±0.5%) amounts were obtained from the culture produced in the tubular photobioreactors.
