The problem of fully-automated portable photobioreactor for microalgae biomass cultivation creating was reviewed. The creation of a small-scale cultivators, which can be used without special qualification, is currently important, due to the growth of interest to microalgae biomass among the population. The most basic requirements to the construction of a device were specified, biological and technical concepts of system creation were discussed. Existed portable photobioreactors were described, their main parameters, advantages and disadvantages were reviewed.
