Do you know that oil derived from algae is an exciting renewable fuel possibility? - see Oilgae for more.
Photosynthetic capacity and luxury uptake of carbon during phosphate limitation in Pediastrum duplex (Chlorophyceae)
Lehman, John T.
Journal of Phycology (1976), 12(2), 190-3 CODEN: JPYLAJ; ISSN: 0022-3646. English.
When cells of Pediastrum duplex experience depletion, their capacity for C fixation declined but sizes and C contents of the cells increased several-fold, an apparent instance of "luxury uptake" of C. Max. rates of uptake of phosphate increased during the same period, and were consequently correlated with the enlarged surface area of the cells. Thus, the disadvantage of increased cell volume, which may accelerate sinking speed in nature, is offset by the increased capacity of the cells for nutrient uptake.

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again

algOS - Biodiesel from Algae Open Source
About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae - among other related plants - you think "Hey! Why not oil again from algae!"
