Algae: The World's Most Important Plants

[UCtelevision]

@Taramcgara1, glad we can help!

[taramcgara1]

Thank you. My University cancelled our Algae course. Since this is my area of study - I am always glad to see info "out there" for folks to view.

Algae is a protist, not a plant

[ninadesianti]

Awesome lecture!

See HtK7REGOJM4 For Commercial Algae Production

"That's one small step for an alge, One giant step for a plant kingdom," I will now go to sleep contemplating this imp't historic event! :o)

[drmodestoesq]

 Brilliant, this guy is the Mitch Hedberg of Phycology.

[adubyas]

@drmodestoesq

you nailed it...his delivery is eerily similar to hedberg's haha

[Mrinny]

Skip to 4:10 if you dont wanna hear the introduction

[imnotabear]

i believe! i also eat algae in the form of spiralina and chlorella everyday - it contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin which can save you from getting sunburn

[haramacad]

hhhh i hate when you mention the age of the earth you fucking moral

[Underfaith]

@haramacad

Could you possibly articulate more precisely as I’m sure your statement is no doubt derogatory, but is also a little hard to follow. If English is indeed not your native language, as it appears, please forgive any disrespect in pointing out obvious grammar and spelling errors.

I would also like to point out this is an educational video ment inform interested people and there is really no need for such vulgar dislplays.

This is very well done. On Wednesday I have to give a 15 min algae presentation myself and this has been a great help : )

I hope to see more soon!

[mnidg84]

This is very well done!

Algae seems to hold the most promise to meet many needs to include methane gas production for electricity. The combination of algae production & methane biogas is a green way to create endless renewable clean energy for many cities and industries. This technology has attracted companies that need inexpensive CO2 sequestration solutions & renewable energy solutions many application in our world

thanks for the review of algae, i was surprised at the amount of material i remembered for my only reading on algae some 40 years ago as a 13 year old with a set of encyclopedias and no comic books.

[datzfast]

sorry for laughing but her name Nigella hillgarth sounds like a species of bacterium. God bless her. LOL

[BiomasseNutzung]

Very nice presentation about the "rainbow of algae". An interesting trip into the history of life on earth and the possibilities of biochemistry. I was also impressed by the giant cells algae can have. Thanks for the presentation!

[KhangAro0]

this was great ! =]

[drmodestoesq]

To sum up: Algae good, people bad.

[zenithar6666]

or rather, certain groups of people! we must remember this

"eliminate all the people and there will be no more bad headlines about enviromental problems"

So far, I've seen plenty of videos of this stuff being made, what I would like to see is a video of a car running on it. Is there a video or at least an account of a vehicle running on 100% algae fuel? Thanks.

[RenjiLambrusco]

this is so money. if a new company besides the big exxon or chevron oil companies do Algae fuel i am so investing in them.

[RedMarineNex]

@RenjiLambrusco

Solazyme has an industrial process to make Biodiesel from algae right now. They were just purchased by Unilever though, so you can't avoid investing in large corporations run by evil scum (although maybe corporate scum can be converted to oil too ....)

[AndrEwsskon]

wow how did u get this to be so long, i thought u could only do 10 min.

[bvrcrap56]
