The noted microbial ecologist Martin W. Beijerinck has stated:“Everything is everywhere, the environment selects.” Use thisconcept to explain what ultimately determines whether amicroorganism can live in a certain habitat.
Climate change and global warming patterns have caused ocean temperatures to increase over the last 50 years. How would the researchers algae farm help fight climate change? What would be the advantage of the algae farm beyond the production of biofuel?
