Growing algae for fuel: Getting started

In this video we are covering the basics for getting started on growing algae. This video series is geared towards teachers and students but can be used by anyone. Our goal is to show you how to grow algae with easily available and inexpensive equipment. Keep in mind that getting algae to grow fast requires a different environment than getting it to make lipids. These first videos will show you how to get it growing fast. Later videos will cover how to increase lipid production.

@buciorjakub There are a lot of edible alga out there. The species we are growing at the moment are not typically eaten.
