Why Algae for Bio-fuels Production?
Green algae are relatives of green plants which perform photosynthesis. They belong to the most primitive forms of plant life and photosynthesis in green algae is very similar to that of green plants. Since many green algae are small organisms and have simple cellular structures, they are more efficient converters of sunlight than green plants and show very rapid growth. Moreover, since algae grow in aqueous environments they have efficient access to the major photosynthesis ingredients, most importantly water and carbon dioxide.
