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.
