PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a culture system and a culture method of a photosynthetic microorganism capable of suppressing the reduction in culture efficiency generated when light with high intensity is applied.SOLUTION: A culture system 100 of a photosynthetic microorganism comprises: a raceway type culture tank 1 culturing a photosynthetic microorganism by circulating a culture medium M; a culture medium circulation device 2 circulating the culture medium M reserved in the raceway type culture tank; and a light-shielding member 5 which can be arranged above the culture medium M and shields at least part of the culture medium M. 【課題】強い強度の光が照射されたときに生じうる培養効率の低下を抑制可能な光合成微生物の培養システム及びその培養方法を提供する。【解決手段】培養液Ｍを循環させて光合成微生物を培養するレースウェイ型培養槽１と、前記レースウェイ型培養槽に貯溜された前記培養液Ｍを循環させる培養液循環装置２と、前記培養液Ｍの上方に配置可能に備えられ、前記培養液Ｍの少なくとも一部を遮光する遮光部材５と、を備えることを特徴とする、光合成微生物の培養システム１００とする。【選択図】図２
