When we think about global warming, we usually blame cars and factories for pumping out those heat-trapping gases. But what if we told you that little algae, the ones you find hanging out in lakes, also have a historical role in this climate tale? ...
As algae-based research rises in prominence for its potential in renewable energy production and climate change mitigation, the need for high-precision analytical equipment is paramount. Hiden Analytical is excited to announce that the Hiden HPR-40 DSA (Dissolved Species Analyzer) is proving to be a perfect research tool in the rapidly evolving algae research landscape. The HPR-40 DSA is ...
Some harmful algal blooms (HABs) release toxins, causing illnesses in people, animals, and damaging the environment; New research links an algal toxin to neurological problems; People with liver disease are more prone to suffering from neurological problems caused by the blooms; HABs are more frequent and abundant. Learning which types are harmful and how to avoid contact with them is ...
The general public, taxpayers, and the business and investment communities continue to ask about the algae product claims made by university algae researchers, lobbyists, DOE Algae Biomass/BETO and market research studies. They have been promoting potential algae products since the first algae study conducted by Carnegie Mellon 75 years ago, and we’re now asking, with no response, where the ...
Other than long overdue massive budget cuts, nothing has changed at the Department of Energy Algae Program. NAA has asked the DOE Secretary to review algae technologies giving private industry the opportunity to see if any algae technologies could be used in commercial algae production. While the DOE conducts advanced algal systems listening sessions, commercial algae producers are in commercial ...
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) fluorometry, based on chlorophyll a fluorescence, is a frequently used technique in algal bioassays to assess toxicity of single compounds or complex field samples. It is known that several test conditions can influence the test results and since a standardized test protocol is currently lacking, it is difficult to link the results of different studies. ...
