Enclosed photobioreactors provide a bit more protection for transgenic algae, although these systems are no fortress. Closed bioreactors tend to be more productive than open systems, but are more ...

Scientists have spent decades genetically modifying the bacterium Escherichia coli and other microbes to convert carbon dioxide into useful biological products. Most methods require additional carbon ...

There’s also a pump which captures polluted air and bubbles it up through the water to feed the algae. The LIQUID3 bioreactors are built with an eye to civic duty, as well. They’re constructed ...

We engineer the community and not individual cells.” “The department recently saw an installation a new 400 litre photobioreactor at the Arthur Willis Environment Centre (AWEC), for those that don’t ...

Back at the algae plant, I climb onto an elevated platform, where I’m surrounded by noisy modular units called photo-bioreactors, where thousands upon thousands of tiny red and blue LED lights ...

The ability to grow algae in the open ponds in Nevada means that it could be much more economical than building enclosed bioreactors that might require heating and pumping. Professor John Cushman ...
