The Fiehn/Arita team will measure the amount of carbon dioxide consumed by growing algae.
Cultures of algae are grown in reactors in the VanderGheynst Laboratory at the University of California at Davis. Variations in the amount of carbon dioxide consumed by growing algae under different environmental conditions are measured. Such research will contribute to the Fiehn/Arita research group's efforts to improve the ability of photosynthetic algae to produce biofuel.
