Collection of High Energy Yielding Strains of Saline Microalgae from Southwestern States - Final Report (Paperback)

Approximately 1,400 individual isolates of microalgae were obtained from surface waters in the Southwest. Of the initial 23 algae screened for growth characteristics, the majority grew best at the lower salinities in both SERI Type I and Type II Media. Growth rates for selected strains approached three doublings per day.
