Scientists from a diversity of research areas, including plant and algal biologists, are all applying their expertise to mitigate the dire consequences of climate change. But many first-generation biofuels, which are produced from edible crops like corn, pose a threat to food security by competing for land and freshwater reserves. They also often rely on fertilizers that can leach from the soil and pollute both marine and freshwater bodies, increasing the risk of creating hypoxic zones and toxic algal blooms both of which have the potential to kill fish and other aquatic animals.
This green microalga grows in fresh and brackish water. Of particular interest is its ability to produce large quantities of long-chain hydrocarbons (liquid fuels!), which cause the cells to float. They are both released into the environment and stored in a matrix surrounding the cell. Grossman and Yeh believe that this hydrocarbon synthesis could be engineered to produce massive quantities of biofuel and t
