Weissman, J C

A theoretical and experimental study of algal growth kinetics was undertaken to evaluate potential applications of algal culture in the conversion of solar energy. Models of photosynthesis and nutrient utilization were reviewed and then selectively used to guide studies of hydrogen production and nitrogen fixation by a cyanobacterium, studies of cell feedback and species competition in continuous culture, and experimental outdoor cultivation of algae on wastewater.
