Algae all sauces ;)
This project will focus on the different ways to grow and manipulate unicellular algae in bioreactors. Among the various possible applications, found making sculptures or liquid clothes, study of closed artificial ecosystems (Ecosphere) and even the production of biofuels !!
The first objective of this project, is to have a reliable and continuous algae, we therefore need a bioreactor.
Here are the first pictures:
