Check out this article below. This infestation could be a blessing in disguise. Stick some oil-producing genes from algae into Giant Salvinia and you have a...
What is known about the oil content or even BTU content of Giant Salvinia? I can't find anything on the web. Neal This infestation could be a blessing in...
This seems to be very interesting. Does anybody know the content of the dry matter of this Salvinia? Even if it does not contain any oil as such, it could be...
That about right 50% or so. However the ligh delivered to the algae is then uniform throuhghout the depth and tuned to the frequencies of the antennae and much...

Hi Jordan, Thanks for the reply, I guess I over-estimated the temperature. It is probably closer to 30 C, clay-lined water containment ponds, at concentrated...
James, Many of the culture collections give the collection point for their strains. By picking one that is in a warm region, you may be able to get a strain...
