Wonder what is the latest timeline that is suggested by experts for algae fuel commercialization...I recently read that Synthetic Genomics suggest that it could be beyond 2025, perhaps even 2030 when we can realistically expert algal fuel to be in the market

That's quite interesting! What are the applications of this compound? more

Blake commented on Algal Scientific making money from Beta Glucan5

Beta glucan is a thoroughly researched compound with scientifically proven benefits. The problem is that it has been historically produced by extracting a very small portion from yeast cell walls ... more

Emily commented on Algal Scientific making money from Beta Glucan5

Yes, the extraction is expensive when organisms such as yeasts are involved since it has only 10-15% of beta glucan while the algae that is being used by Algae Scientific ... more

I wish to do an algae biodiesel project on Botricoccus braunii and Schiochytrium . This algae biodiesel project is very important for me. i am thinking about this project from last 11 months. i design the photo bioreacter also for algae cultivation. For that project i require algae culture. Due to lack of algae culture i did not started that project, please can anybody give some information about algae culture availability centres and how can i get that algae culture. please help me.
