Abstract

The purpose of the project is to isolate a species of algae with large quantities of triacylglycerides, starch and biomass. The Ruan Laboratory at the University of Minnesota has isolated several species of algae from Minnesota’s ponds, rivers and lakes. Variations in CO2 quantity, and how it affects algae growth were also investigated.
