Abstract

The present invention relates to a bioreactor for photo-sensitive biological processes and to a method for illuminating biological material in a bioreactor. The bioreactor comprises a container having a volume for acceptance of a liquid with biological material and a plurality of light arrays arranged inside the volume of the container, wherein the plurality of light arrays are arranged such that the biological material can be substantially homogeneously illuminated. Homogeneous illumination may be achieved in a self- regulatory system.
