Abstract

The present invention relates to a port installed in a closed-ended photochemical reactor, and more particularly, to a multi-functional port for microalgae cultivation and harvesting that supplies gas for cultivation for culturing microalgae by connecting to the closed-ended photochemical reactor; supplies gas for prevention of precipitation for lifting microalgae during cultivation; and assembles by taking samples of microalgae or selectively combining a plurality of valves which can harvest microalgae, whose cultivation is completed.
