A device for growing aquatic plants, in particular filamentous algae or seaweed, has a watertight reservoir (40) suitable for holding water, a plurality of light-emitting elements distributed over the entire volume of the reservoir (40), and an endless conveyor belt (41) with a drive motor (42) for moving the conveyor belt (41) in its endless direction. The conveyor belt is guided through the reservoir by a first deflection mechanism (43) of the device in such a way that at least 50%, preferably 70%, more preferably 90%, more preferably 100% of each of the two surfaces of the conveyor belt (41) receive light from at least one of the lighting elements without being shaded by the conveyor belt (41). The conveyor belt (41) is suitable for anchoring the aquatic plants on it and allowing them to grow while there is water in the reservoir (40).

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.

A new and distinct cultivar of the red macroalgae Asparagopsis taxiformis named “Icarus,” characterized by significantly smaller internal branching angles, a smaller form when aggregated in tumble culture, and a dark red pigmentation. New branches of this macroalgae are generated prolifically at higher temperatures than wild-type A. taxiformis, making “Icarus” well-suited for commercial growth, e.g., when there is a risk of extreme heat events, in cases of needing to lower the cost of cooling cultivars, or other such conditions.

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

The present disclosure relates to the field of algal cultivation and biofuels. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method of enhancing lipid production during algal culturing. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method of enhancing neutral lipid and total lipid production by maintaining algae in a thin layer cultivation system and exposing said algae maintained in the thin layer cultivation system to infra-red (IR) radiation. Said method enhances lipid accumulation in algae, thereby increasing the yield of neutral lipids and total lipids. The method is simple, cost-effective in producing high quantities of algal-derived biofuels, requires shorter time duration for lipid induction and results in no or minimal reduction of biomass.

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.
