Hey so its me I am back home now all is growing well I have 2 cultures of PC in 2 liter bottles running under 24 hr aeration and 12 hour sunlight. Should I do...
J., This is part of the research you need to be conducting. I think you need to aerate 24 / 7 to reduce clumping and to help the algae absorb more CO2 and get...
Bobby, Nice reply, good solid info. I am planning on getting a using a meter of some sort to automate my turbidity measuring for harvesting and loggin growth...
Eric, Thanks for the kind words. There are several types of instruments that can measure the density. They are definitely better than the Secchi. Good plan. ...
Hello, I am interested in collecting local (N.Y.) algae, and to isolate and identify species for outdoor mass culture. Step one is to find an appropriate...
Kevin, A dissecting microscope with dark field illumination is right on target. I have seen people say you need at least 400 power. (Caution - the above is...
Bobby, Thanks for reply. I see 400x in a compound microscope but understand it is difficult to use micro-pipette with that. I wonder if I will need...
Kevin, This could get expensive. Most will the option of lower power. Maybe get a 400 but make sure it can also do 60 to 100. Bobby ... -- Toward freedom, ...
Hello Kevin, I have a Tiyoda microscope for sale with suitable magnification and movable stage. I bought six at a UCB auction for $200 each. Not sure what UPS...
Hi All, I'm new to the group. I found you because of my interest in producing oil from plants, algae in particular. I've used a sonic cleaner. While it will...
Just put a little bit of electricity in, it can be dc or ac, but 256Khz 12v dc pulse is what I used. Sorry I just not have time to explain in detail, and no...
Hey so thanks for your info yes I know I will need to do testing for now I will add nutrients and run aeration 24/7. If you have looked at my pictures what do...
Frank, What Dave is saying is go to our Yahoo group, go to messages, and search for his prior messages, where he discuses his idea in more detail. You might ...
Eric, I think your Pc culture will grow much denser - it will be so "thick" you can't see through the bottle. You don't need a calibration table. The...
Thank you Bobby for pointing me in the right direction and thank you aliendave for your great original post. This is what I love, to see great ideas being...
I'm new to the group. Got interested in the "oil from algae" idea. Would like to set a small lab in my backyard and garage. I don't have much more experience...
Jay, Big Pharm.. Molecular Biology... thoughts on antioxidants and other thing as well as oil. Well if so.. or also antibiotic (MRSA) there are some...
Bruce： Thanks for your suggestions. What exciting! There are lots of opportunities for us to work with the crazy-grow little creature. Jay ... From: lendlabs...
Hi, Bobby: We will visit the algae farm for sure - Salton Sea, only 2hr driving from San diego. Thanks. Jay ... From: Bobby Yates Emory <liberty1@...>...
Hi Jay, I work in a moderate-sized company and we've been growing algae to make biofuels for a few years now. I can't offer to share equipment or funds right...
Ken, Could you give us a status report of where your company has succeeded? Is the company selling samples - there continue to be requests? Bobby ... -- Toward...
bobby, Thanks for your advice I guess this is the longest part to build up a strong culture then it should be relatively fast reproducing the original numbers...
Eric, That is the idea - it can grow half the max density in the doubling time - so that is much more productive than restarting from scratch. For Pc the ...
I wonder what type of people are their target readers? "But one of the greatest challenges in creating biofuels from algae is that when you extract the oil...
I sure hope those probably super expensive nano things do not get in to the natural environment...ya that would never happen (riiiiight???? ya right...) image...
Hi, All: Plan to order some strains from either Ecogenics or UTEX. I don't have any experience in growing algae. I am looking for any input from this group. 1....
