Agrilife Scientists Do Groundwork For Genetic Mapping Of Algae Biofuel SpeciesCollege Station TX (SPX) Mar 16, 2010 Using green algae to produce hydrocarbon oil for biofuel production is nothing new; nature has been doing so for hundreds of millions of years, according a Texas AgriLife Research scientist. "Oils from the green algae Botryococcus braunii can be readily detected in petroleum deposits and coal deposits suggesting that B. braunii has been a contributor to developing these deposits and may be the major contributor," said Dr. Timothy Devarenne, AgriLife Research scientist with the Texas A and M Univer ... read more |
