The BFA-3000, an in vivo fluorescence algae classifier, was designed and developed by FPI. This device utilizes fluorescence spectroscopy to measure various parameters related to algae, including the density and concentration of cyanobacteria, green algae, diatoms, methanogens, and cryptophytes. Additionally, it can determine the total ...
Researchers then went on to analyse the genome of 31 plants representing the different phylogenetic groups characterised to date, from green algae to flowering plants. They found a high proportion of these endogenous viral sequences of a new genus (between 0.5% and 1% of the genome) in 21 flowering plants, while they were absent in the genomes of more primitive plants such as ...
However, species that are “ecological equivalents” in one function might not be “equivalent” in other functions; for example, a filamentous alga and a single cell alga might equally produce O2, remove NO3, NH3, and ...
The document, which is intended to help facilitate life cycle analysis, unify research and spur the deployment of algae demonstration facilities, is currently available for viewing and public comment here on the ABO website. "The absence of common descriptive language has led to a lack of harmony among technologists, researchers, life cycle ...
NREL researchers pioneered microalgal biofuels development by leading the DOE Aquatic Species Program from 1979 until DOE discontinued funding for the research in 1996, when it appeared that algae-based fuels would be too expensive to compete against petroleum-derived fuels. Today, in response to volatile petroleum prices and an increased national interest in energy security and ...
