Algae

Introduction: The metabolic process in plants such as the algae, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, is called photosynthesis. The way not only algae, but every consumer and other photosynthetic organisms obtain food and fiber is due to photosynthesis (Zhu, et al., 2008). Primary producers use sunlight as energy to convert CO2 and H2O into O2 and Glucose (C6H12O6) (Mohsenpour, et al., 2012).

Unregulated dumping of sewage and industrial pollutants with similar algae blooms and earned the nickname “North America's Dead Sea”.…

2.1 Microalgae. The term microalgae refer to the microscopic algae and the oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, i.e. the cyanobacteria, formerly known as Cyanophyceae (Richmond 2004). The word algae represent a large group of different organisms from different phylogenetic groups, representing many taxonomic divisions. In general algae can be referred to as plant-like organisms that are usually photosynthetic and aquatic, but do not have true roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue and have simple…

Studies on Gracilaria salicornia provide background information of on the specific algae. Current research also analyzes the ecology of the algae, along with how the algae affects Hawaii's economy. Additional research explains the dietary shift by green sea turtles in the Hawaiian Island region and how…

Lake Erie’s toxic algae blooms are becoming deadly, all of the local residents need our help. Everything started in the 1960’s in Cleveland, Ohio.
