The scientific community has turned its interest to microalgae lately, because of their countless applications such as wastewater treatment and pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, so far applied cultivation methods are still prohibitive. Ordinary cultivation techniques in which microalgae are suspended in liquid medium suffer from many bottlenecks, such as low biomass productivities, difficulty in biomass harvesting and recovery, high installation and operating cost, high water requirements etc. Although, microalgal biofilms are known to be a nuisance because of surfaces fouling, they have emerged as an innovative technology with which microalgae are developed attached to a solid surface. This technique seems to be advantageous as compared to conventional cultivation systems. Microalgal biofilm systems could resolve the problematic aspects of ordinary cultivation techniques such as low biomass productivities, water management and biomass recovery. A detailed description of this technique with respect to the parameters affecting them is reviewed in this work.

由于微藻在废水处理和制药行业等众多应用中的应用，近来科学界已将其兴趣转向微藻。然而，到目前为止，所采用的栽培方法仍然是禁止的。将微藻悬浮在液体培养基中的普通栽培技术存在许多瓶颈，例如生物量生产率低，生物量的收集和回收困难，安装和运行成本高，需水量高等。尽管如此，微藻生物膜是令人讨厌的由于表面结垢，它们已经成为一种创新技术，利用该技术开发了附着在固体表面上的微藻。与常规栽培系统相比，该技术似乎是有利的。微藻生物膜系统可以解决普通栽培技术存在的问题，例如低生物量生产率，水管理和生物量回收。在这项工作中，将对影响该参数的参数对该技术进行详细描述。
