 Algae have been identified as a promising source of renewable energy due to their ability to produce large amounts of lipids and carbohydrates. Environmental factors such as temperature, light, and pH, as well as nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace metals all play a role in determining how much carbon is fixed into these compounds. By understanding how these factors interact, it may be possible to optimize algae production for biofuel applications. This article was authored by Ganti Esmerthy, Ruben Michael Sabalos, and Anki to
