A method and system for flue gas reclamation is described. In one embodiment, a flue gas reclamation system is provided. The system includes a combustion engine including an intake member, an output shaft, and an exhaust outlet. The intake member receives flue gas from a gas source. A generator is connected to the output shaft and a compressor is connected to the exhaust outlet of the combustion engine. At least one holding tank is connected to the compressor and the compressor stores enriched flue gas from the exhaust outlet of the combustion engine in the at least one holding tank. A battery is connected to the generator and is configured to provide electric power to the flue gas reclamation system. An algae farm in fluid communication with the at least one holding tank is configured to receive the stored enriched flue gas from the at least one holding tank.

A novel and distinct variety of Asparagopsis taxiformis, provided as a source of halogenated compounds.

A novel variety of the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis (syn. H. lacustris), named ‘KAS1601-WG7’ is primarily characterized by a yellow and motile cell body during propagation transitioning to a red and motile cell body under pigment accumulation conditions. The cells contain negligible chlorophyll. It has fast growth under heterotrophic cultivation for ease of propagation and shows high carotenogenesis under dark heterotrophic cultivation. The highly pigmented non-encysted cells are attractive for ease of extraction and for high digestibility, including as whole cells, to release a mixture of oils, proteins, pigments, and other components desirable for use in food, feeds, cosmetics and dietary supplements, and excellent storage as biomass.

Provided for are methods of producing triacylglycerol-accumulated microalgae, methods for making bioplastics from triacylglycerol-accumulated microalgae, methods for making alga-mixed plastics, and products including these bioplastics. Methods of triacylglycerol accumulation using centrifugation are also provided. Products such as plastic beads and other consumer products can be made from the bioplastics described herein.

The present invention discloses biomass compositions for improving shelf life, increasing fruit water retention, and/or decreasing needle-drop in conifer species and methods for making the same. The composition comprises pasteurized microalgae selected from Chlorella, Aurantiochytrium, Scenedesmus, or any combination thereof.

Method of inhibiting live grazing organisms in an algae composition are disclosed, which do not inhibit the algae. In certain embodiments the concentration of algae increases. In other embodiments the mortality of live grazing organisms is complete. The method contacts an algae composition with wastewater comprising free ammonia and maintaining pH of at least 8 for more than two hours.

The invention relates to a method of cultivating spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) in a temperate or northern climate, comprising a period of reproduction of the spirulina strain and a period of dormancy of the spirulina strain when the night temperature of the cultivation tank falls below the limit of 17° C., preferably below the limit of 18° C. or 19° C. or even 20° C., in which, in order to put said spirulina strain into dormancy, a sample volume of the reproduction medium of said strain is taken and placed in conditions of reduced luminosity compared to a sunlight of normal intensity generally borne by said strain during the reproduction period during periods of light alternating with periods of darkness, the said sampling volume is maintained at a temperature of between 5 and 20° C., preferably between 10 and 18° C., under reduced agitation compared with agitation during the reproduction period, at a pH of at least 9, preferably at least 9.5 or at least 10 feeding the sample volume every 4 to 7 days with 5-15%, preferably 10%, of the sample volume of a composition comprising about 1 g/L sea salt, 6 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 2.5 g/L potassium nitrate, 1 g/L potassium sulfate and/or magnesium sulfate, and about 3 g/L sodium and/or calcium carbonate.
