abstract = {Phytoplankton are essential to aquatic ecosystems but can cause harmful algal blooms (HABs) that threaten water quality, aquatic life, and human health. Developing new devices based on spectroscopic techniques offers a promising alternative for rapid and accurate monitoring of aquatic environments. However, phytoplankton undergo various physiological changes throughout their life cycle, leading to alterations in their optical properties, such as autofluorescence. In this study, we present a modification of a low-cost photobioreactor designed to implement fluorescence spectroscopy to analyze the evolution of spectral signals during phytoplankton growth cycles. This device primarily facilitates the characterization of changes in autofluorescence, providing valuable information for the development of future spectroscopic techniques for detecting and monitoring phytoplankton. Additionally, real-time testing was performed on cyanobacterial cultures, where changes in autofluorescence were observed under different conditions. This work demonstrates a cost-effective implementation of spectroscopic techniques within a photobioreactor, offering a preliminary analysis for the future development of functional field devices for monitoring aquatic ecosystems.},
