Exploiting beneficial algal-microbial interactions to increase cultivation yield

The main objectives of the project are:
(1) Optimize nutrients supply strategies in algae bacterial culture;
(2) Enhance crop protection and stability using biological control;
(3) Develop predictive, quantitative model to extrapolate from short-term bench scale experiments to temporal and spatial scales relevant to the biofuel industry;
(4) Demonstration and validation of model in pilot scale cultivation systems.
