Algae is a miracle of Nature. Rich, in Amino acids, Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Anti-oxidants, phycobiliproteins, and other valuable products, algae is being tapped as the new feedstock across industries. This Book describes how to build your own Photobioreactor to grow pure algae species (taxa). Algae, are Earths “engine” to fuel the food web. As a “primary producer,” responsible for nearly half the oxygen production on Earth, the power of algae is being commercialized to produce valuable organic products. Build your own, Algae Photobioreactor (PBR) grow kit, to Cultivate valuable algal strains, and tap into the rapidly growing Algae Industry. Grow algae reliability, and repeatably, with Photobioreactor (PBR) Algae Grow Kits for controlled photosynthesis. Grow up to Four different Algal taxa using these 4-vessel Algae grow kits rated at 80 Liter total capacity. Complete with optical, mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and biological systems, photobioreactors give you complete control. Growing monocultures of algae, using photobioreactors, is useful for researchers, developers, companies, universities, and those who need to cultivate Algal monocultures with purity, and minimal cost of construction. Algae, produce valuable amino-acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and essential oils (lipids) consuming water-borne pollution for nutrients. Algae species, grown with your PBR algae grow kits, enable researchers to tap algae’s enormous productivity, able to double in mass in 24 hours under exponential growth phase. Algal researchers, work to develop protocols for increased production. Growing algae converts water, in-organic compounds (CO2), and solar radiation into valuable organic molecules. This eBook is written as a resource for building your own photobioreactor, and growing valuable algal strains. This Book is written, as a resource for researchers, to construct an effective bioreactor, rated at 80 Liters, for growing algae monocultures. Isolated from contamination, these photobioreactors, offer the researcher total control of all inputs, and thermodynamic conditions, to grow a specific monoculture algal strain. Grow Algae for Profit, using photobioreactors, to produce useful quantities of pure species (taxa). Grow Algal Biomass, for your experiments, or for sale, with this easy-to-build Photobioreactor. Review: I liked the references to bacterlological air filters - I found this book to be comprehensive and informative. I liked the references to bacterlological air filters. Review: Possibly the worst book ever!!! - Absolutely rubbish book. Read like a selection of random clippings from an advertisement pamphlet for their algae photobioreactor. Information and descriptions were so incomplete. There was no complete or linear description of how to use or build an algae bioreactor. Often the same sentence or even paragraph was repeated. There was only a handful of very low quality pictures, no diagrams or charts, not even a single example of the complete process for a single species of algae. Author frequently rambles on at tangents about in depth facts that are of no help to the reader in starting to grow their own algae. Was so frustrated with the contained pages of utter tripe that I threw the book at the wall after reading the last page. It was like reading the insane ramblings of someone who obviously knows the science of the subject, but has no idea what he's trying to tell you about it!!! To put it into perspective, I learnt so much more by watching a video or two on youtube. Don't waste your money, you'll only be frustrated. Besides there's so much information on the subject free online and on youtube.

First- book contains good information for folks new to growing algae
Ok, wow. First- book contains good information for folks new to growing algae, as I am. i gotta say that it's a difficult read. Paragraphs repeat, misspellings, and a strange over-use of quotation marks where at times "every" "other" "word" "is" "surrounded" "by" "quotation" "marks". "Literally" Book would have been half as many pages except for paragraphs that repeat using different verbiage, sometimes one after the other. I like the reactor design better than the fish tank style tho...

Useless and completely awful
The quality of the writing is reminiscent of freshman term papers, at best. It lacks a coherent structure, often repeating the same phrases full of acronymns and impressive-sounding sciency words over again as if their repetition will somehow provide this miserable pamphlet the substance it lacks. There is not much real information to be gained here and I can't bear to continue reading it.

Its good for a person who has no idea about algae or algal biofuels. Written in a very lucid manner and easy to understand but has all the scientific details in place. I liked it.

I found this book to be an excellent source of fundamental details on the key physical and biological elements to successfully grow algae. I have used many of the principals outlined by Mr Kinkaid to design and scale up algae production. I strongly recommend this book to folks looking to get a fundamental understanding of the algae industry.

This is an instruction manual for a kit that is for sale somewhere.
The material was cut and paste in several places. The info was superficial and very generalized with what appeared to be some history and formulas thrown in at the end as an afterthought. I was hoping for so very much more. I even wish I could request my money back, even if only to compensate me for the time I wasted giving this book a fair shot.

Some good info, not very in depth and the editor must have been by-passed as it is not well written

Interesting primer
Interesting first read on the subject, some good how to but very brief. Probably benefit from more images and diagrammatical accompaniment. 2.5 out of 5

Quite good but...
Interesting introduction to the algae growing business, but some major flaws that could make for a better book. First are typos. Too many to list, and though I personally am not too bothered by them as long as I know what is meant, it does undermine the quality of the book. Secondly this book would benefit from having diagrams. There is the occasional photo, but little to illustrate the text. Otherwise worth reading if you are taking an interest in this subject.

Nichts für Algenzüchter
Schlechtes Buch; Wenig Informationen, keine genauen Anleitungen, viele Repetitionen. Keine Wissenschaflich fundierte Resultate/Anweisungen/Facts. Qualität des Buches rel. Tief. Zudem hat das Buch nur ca. 40 Seiten und ist gross geschrieben. Wenig Inhalt.
