Photo taken with Zeiss PMII scope 60x dry 0.85 NA Semi-plan Chinese objective and Lumix GF1 camera attached to Zeiss intermediate photo tube, modified brightfield setup. Asterococcus with other algae.
This is an image of two species of the filamentous algae Microspora (bottom two) and the diatom Fragilaria under a microscope using UV light and 1000x magnification. The red colour is the auto-fluorescence of the chlorophyll and the blue glow is from a fluorescent stain that binds to the cell walls of the algae.
Cladaphora are freshwater algae that grow on submerged rocks, logs and other hard surfaces. Research has linked cladaphora blooms to high phosphorus levels resulting from fertilizing lawns, poorly maintained septic systems, inadequate sewage treatment, agricultural runoff, and detergents containing phosphorus.
PondZilla is very effective, when used as an adjunct to an algaecide or herbacide*, at controlling filmantous bacteria in ponds such as cladophora.
Aquafix created PondZilla utilizing the latest in enzyme technology to degrade 30-60% of pond muck at 1/10th the cost of physical cleaning*. Pondzilla helps degrade muck and sludge in lakes and ponds by activating the muck layer and stimulating bacterial activity. It contains surface-activating agents, which liberate pond muck and allow the active ingredients to speed up nature’s natural decomposition cycle. It works particularly well in ponds with filamentous problems.
*While bacterial products cannot kill aquatic plant growth, when used with algaecides or herbicides, they can help restore natural balance.

A seaweed farmer has a smoke while he poles his skiff loaded with algae toward the beach on Nusa Lembongan, an island off the south coast of Bali, Indonesia. Seaweed farming and dive-related tourism are the main trades on the island. The algae are grown on grids of rope staked in the shallows, and every day the farmers go out to cut off the clumps and bring them to shore, where they are sorted, dried, and then shipped out for processing. The carrageenan is used as a thickener in things like ice cream.
Today Wendy and I drove to Mimbres, NM with the RyanIsHungry crew.
They interviewed Asher Gelbart about his veggie oil life of WVO ad
biodiesel sales. Also about his goals of selling veg generated based
electricity back to the grid and algae production.
Lake Menomin in Menomonie Wisconsin was overwhelmed with a blue-green algae bloom that caused the water to become toxic.
bought me some "golden algae eaters" this past weekend, it should take care of the algae problem (I hope)
they're already doing a great job on it, the tank looks cleaner (and less green) already
picture is slightly out of focus though.... these little buggers are too skittish to be properly photographed!
This is a great place to learn how to make algae biodiesel or algae biodiesel photo bioreactors. For the Do It Yourself (DIY) persons full instructional guides. www.algaebiodieselinfo.com/

Water constantly running down the cliff wall has allowed algae to grow, and the fissures in the rock have created a face. Saltwick Bay North Yorkshire.
