Local Algae

I scooped up some algae from a neighbors exposed stream. It looks

like a marine blue/green variety. I am going to try and send it off

for testing. I am curious about oil content and the species type. If

our local algae has 30% or more lipids it would be a good choice for

diesel oil alternatives. Otherwise I'll just buy some B. Braunii or

D. Salina strains which have been used more than other algae strains

for fuel production research.
