RAMON, You said Nannochloropsis, that is great green algae. I had a friend 's friend in AZ that got Rotifers in his algae and took over. Rotifers have very...
This might be interesting if you want to try our advanced pyramid PBR.. with O2 valve... Production of eicosapentaenoic acid by Nannochloropsis sp. cultures in...
Jim, A matter of semantics. The research is focussed on diluting the light intensity, to prevent photo inhibition. Wageningen University and Researchcentre...
Hai I have just to screen microalgae for biodiesel production, i have some problem with lipid estimation, kindly help Vinitha Ebenezer, Research Scholar, ...
... light intensity, to prevent photo inhibition. My impression is that it is a matter of differing hypotheses about light-phase vs dark-phase. ... That is an...
Ramon, Your set up sounds similar to ours. One thing I would caution is that adding NaHCO3 also increases salinity. Perhaps for the time frame that you're...
I am harvesting my cultured algae with a centrifuge (the concentrated algae looks like a paste or thick slurry) and I store it for future uses such as feeding...
Ken, Two point you need to think about... CO2 forms an acid that will unite with the base to form a salt.. with a pH of 8.5 you will remove almost 100% of the...
Hi Vinitha, Lipid in algae can be quantified in the following two ways:  1. Total lipid in gravimetric method (extraction of lipid by chloroform + methanol...
Friends, they claim to have solved the problem !!!!!!!! Quote: Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTCBB:CABN), the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform...
Check the numbers ... it is not cost effective.. uses too much energy. We make oil from CO2 and water too..Done it for years..Cost less this year then last..We...
One more point.. they use methane to make H2.. Lose a lot of energy.. So where are you getting there H2?? Since hydrogen doesn't exist on earth as a gas, we...
... break though.. Where am I wrong?? What did I miss????Bruce ... (1) ... to ... fuels ... run ... CH4 ... go ... energy. ... this ... or ... the ... ...
... How is this an hypothesis? I know of light memory for future light switches connected to fiber optics, but the only thing they can do there is to make the...
Marcel, Yes, light energy can be stored in the Form of ATP.. Take 60 cycle high energy pulses from the next generation Florescent bulbs or a single wave length...
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the...
Erratum: After posting I realized that the below formulae, incorrectly, assumed that the chloroplasts would be "charged" in series rather than in parallel....
Hi Bruce, thanks for the reply; I'm not trying to keep the algae alive at low densities and they are not growing cultures. I have harvested growing cultures...
Skip, Well let me finish.. Glycol or PEG will keep the algae. The problem with filter feeders is the very small stages of larvae can not tolerate the bacteria...
Marcel, I think you misunderstood what was suggested. In a raceway pond, at any one moment, most of the algae cannot "see" the sun. The algae culture exhibits...
Hai, What kind carbon fixation is done in marine diatom.. C3 or C4? if it is C3 can it shift to C$ during stress condition? if so is it likely that that...
Skip, This is more to the point.. OK 9 G/ 100ml is dense rather then a paste..Point is it has not been preserved.. you might want to check it out to see what...
... Bruce, If you take a photobioreactor (note, this is often equalled to a closed system, but this is not per definition the case) in which the light is...
Marcel, There are ponds where then have grown in High Salt alga that produced beta carotene or lutin for years.. They also produce sea salt for France.. large...
Yes, that's exactly what I want to do. What is the PEG concentration that would work to preserve the algae?. I just need a place to start and I'll try several...
Jim, that is a very interesting way to think about microalgae. Do you know where I can find out which are the best species for the production of DHA/EPA? How...
... I think I was misunderstood actually. But that doesn't matter, I think we're all on the same line :) I wanted to clarify why the increase in surface area...
