20090162919 | METHODS FOR CONCENTRATING MICROALGAE - The present invention provides commercially viable, large-scale methods for concentrating microalgae with an average diameter of about 20 μm or less. The methods find use in concentrating microalgae with an average diameter of about 5 μm or less, for example, | 06-25-2009 |
20100022393 | Glyphosate applications in aquaculture - Methods for controlling a density of algae growing in an aquatic environment are provided. Exemplary methods include applying an effective amount of glyphosate to a density of algae growing in an aquatic environment. The algae may include genus | 01-28-2010 |
20120107801 | HIGH-EFFICIENCY HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION IN THE OIL-PRODUCING ALGA, NANNOCHLOROPSIS - Transformation methods are provided for introducing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into the nucleus of an algal cell. A transformation construct may be prepared, with the transformation construct having a first sequence of DNA similar to a corresponding first sequence of nuclear DNA, a second sequence of DNA similar to a corresponding second sequence of the nuclear DNA, and a sequence of DNA inserted between the first and second sequences of DNA of the transformation construct. A target sequence of DNA inserted between the first and second corresponding sequences of the nuclear DNA may be transformed, resulting result in replacement of the target sequence of DNA with the sequence of DNA of interest. | 05-03-2012 |
