    Abstract

    Cyanobacteria (commonly known as blue-green algae) growth suspended within the water in ponds, lochs, rivers, reservoirs and in the sea or attached to rocks and other surfaces. They are important contributors to aquatic ecosystems. Under certain environmental conditions: warm still water and excessive nutrient concentrations they multiply quickly forming a bloom.
    Blooms are visible as green, blue-green or green-brown scum layers in the water surface.
    This project seeks to investigate the potential for sustainable biofuel production from lipids extracted from cyanobacteria.
