Greenbaum, E

Original measurements on the kinetics and mechanism of the simultaneous photoproduction of molecular hydrogen and oxygen by intact green algae were performed. It is believed that this concept of renewable energy production is technically sound and that it works with both freshwater algae and marine algae (in which seawater serves as the primary substrate). It was also demonstrated that microalgae are inherently rugged organisms and can be expected to survive for prolonged periods of time in a practical process.
