The pond under the big elm tree is getting stagnant and filling with algae since we have had little rain the last month. The weather has turned much colder today and there is rain in the area, but so far none in the neighborhood.
No, it's not an ocean scene painted with water colors. It's algae growing on the creek with clouds reflected at the top.
Flavoparmelia caperata is a foliose lichen I found on a fallen tree branch. This specimen has soredia present. These are asexual reproductive structures with a powdery consistency seen by zooming in at center. They consist of the fungal hyphae encapsulating the algae which when separated from the thallus and transferred to a fresh substrate can grow into a new lichen.

Microorganisms such as algae are among the world’s smallest chemical factories. They produce metabolites, which are valuable raw materials for the chemical industry. BASF already uses the algae Dunaliella salina in Australia to produce β-carotene for food additives. In the field of white biotechnology, researchers are cultivating other kinds of algae that can be used in the future to produce raw materials for cosmetic products or dietary supplements, for example. One current research focus is blue-green algae of the genus Synechocystis (shown here). These blue-green algae are very frugal: they grow at room temperature and only need a water-based culture medium with minerals and trace elements as well as carbon dioxide and light for photosynthesis. Researchers obtain the metabolites by removing the algae from the culture medium and disruption of the cell walls. Given that there are more than 30,000 known types of microalgae, it is important to identify the right candidates and optimize their growing conditions. When blue-green algae work for white biotechnology, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.
It's raining hard today and the creek beds are filling up. I'm really looking forward to seeing the snow melt off the mountain peaks and the elements of summer run their course and turn this weather around!
Enjoy your weekend.

My attention was drawn to the beautiful hues of the fresh bark on this gum tree, and the sweeping curve of the bright green algae.
These green dots in the East China Sea appear to be algae.

Algae Madness.
A few days ago I revisited this incredible place that never ceases to amaze me!
This stone caught my attention powerfully due to its peculiar shape and the green algae that covered it.
I spent a good time there, testing compositions and moments until the trails of water created these beautiful textures.
