NASA backs Omega system

NASA ,the U.S. space agency has thrown its weight behind a clever method of growing algae in wastewater for the purpose of making biofuel. The OMEGA system consists of algae grown in flexible plastic bags floating offshore, where cities typically dump their wastewater. Oil-producing freshwater algae would naturally clean the wastewater by feeding on nutrients [...]

New Bio Fertiliser from a Microalga

Bioalgal Marine, an Almeria University spin-off company specialised in cultivating and integral usage of microalgae has developed a new fertiliser manufactured from a microalga called Spirulina, called Algafert. This natural fertiliser visibly enhances plants’ roots and resistance, without compromising its final quality. According to Marta Sánchez de Puerta, Bioalgal Marine’s Manager, “this biofertiliser, which is [...]

Extraction from Macro algae

Having economic and ecological interest, algae are cultivated with the aid of buoys, in areas where the wind and the current are not strong. Among the most common species are Kappaphycus, Gelidium, Gigardina, Gracilaria, Encheuma, Hypmea and Pterocladia. During growth, the algae selectively assimilate many of the minerals contained in water. They photosynthesize and synthesize [...]

Are Algal communities driven toward maximum Biomass?

In this continental-scale study, we show that in major benthic and planktonic stream habitats, algal biovolume – a proxy measure of biomass—is a unimodal function of species richness (SR). Source: http://bit.ly/7c1dwU
