Hi everyone,

I'm recreating a small photobioreactor ( Raspberry Pi based Photobioreactor (youtube.com) )to monitor the growth of microalgae etc... Due the the nature of ordering parts, I'm going to end up with enough to build a few of these.

If anyone is interested in making one of these, reach out as I will have quite a few extra parts.

Cheers!

I’m in a Phycology course, and have a midterm tomorrow. I’m struggling to memorize the names for the orders within ulvophyceae, trebouxiophyceae, chlorophyceae, and phaeophyceae. Does anyone happen to have a good trick(s) to help?

The orders: Ulvales/ulotrichales Cladophorales Caulerpales/bryopsidales Dasycladales Chlorellales Chlamydomonodales

Laminariales Fucales Ectocarpales Dictyotales Desmarestiales Sphacelariales

I’m a 20 year old male and I’m having an issue with emotions and I need help. I constantly feel like I need to do something . I’m always anxious for the future and feel like I need to do something now to help myself later. And along with that I don’t produce joyful memories anymore . I’m not truly happy and feel like I’m in limbo and I cannot find my purpose . I try to allow myself to feel some emotions I suppress but I can’t , my body won’t allow me to. What’s wrong with me?

Project: Algal bloom to Organic fertilizers

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for some guidance, feel free to contribute whatever you feel like related to it. So, I’m a recent graduate at University of Manitoba, and Manitoba is home to more then 100,000 lakes which includes many huge water bodies. One of the problems which is being faced at this lake is related to algal bloom, and to solve this problem I want to convert the algal bloom into organic fertilizers, so I can solve t2 problems at same time. To sell any sort of fertilizer we need licensing and many other legal paperwork, as a recent graduate I don’t have such resources to approach this project. What are your suggestions, if I want to approach this project and eventually setup a profitable business. I welcome all the suggestions and advice. Thank you

Kind regards G.K

how resistant are algae to typical sewage & smokestack effluents? can algae be used to scrub for carbon capture?

can algae be impregnated with deeply reflective particles so they can better exploit solar energy?

trendy nanoparticles, formerly known as ions, puncture cells, in the way of transfection. do algae emit oil in response to irritants the way animals do? maybe ventner is too clever and algae can leak oil gradually by ions & irritants?

Hello,

I came across this table from an old research paper showing the chemical composition breakdown of macrocystis (a species of kelp). How do I make sense of this because a lot of the % sum to greater than 100%. I know that there is nitrogen within protein, for example.

Can anyone please help me organize this table so that it is in sections that all add to 100%?

Thanks!

With the current state of affairs in the world, we need your help to learn, teach, build and spread the word about a horticultural system of growing plants fed by fish waste that uses sand as media. It is extremely water efficient, needs no supplementary fertilization, has very high yields and only requires 2 hours of electricity a day.

Growbeds containing sand act as media for the plants and a filter for the fish waste. The sand is shaped into ridges for the plants, and water is channeled down furrows. The furrows develop a thin layer of algae that allows for even distribution of nutrients throughout the grow bed and add an extra layer of filtration.

It is possible many other functions are happening as a result of the algae consuming /releasing/ converting nutrients. It would be great to hear feedback from experts in the field, and even better if we can inspire some research!

A good text introduction can be read at https://iavs.info//wp-content/uploads/2015/03/NCSUOIP-IAVS-Description88.pdf

I have compiled some more detailed info at https://www.reddit.com/r/Sandponics/comments/vn9sy6/a_basic_introduction_to_iavs_sandgardening_fish/ with many links in that document.

We also have a small group on reddit at r/Sandponics

Sponsors and supporters are desperately needed from within the following disciplines:

• aquaculture sciences
• aquatic ecology
• horticultural science
• applied genetics
• soil ecology and sciences
• hydrology and water conservation
• microbiology
• nutritionists (aquatic, botanical, and human)
• integrated pest management
• controlled environmental engineering and management
• eco/biological synergism and systematics
• dynamic systems management
• phycology
• marketing and distribution of perishable commodities
• post-harvest technologies and food safety regulation

I am really curious about learning as much as I can about Phycology, any and all learning resources would be greatly appreciated. It just seems extra difficult for me to find anything specifically about algae. Microscope information welcome! Thank you <3
