Bigelow lab hoping tiny pays off big | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
Today, Bigelow Labs and their collaboration with Bodega Algae was featured in the Portland Press Herald (Portland, ME). It is a nice article highlighting the work Bodega Algae and Bigelow are doing to study the effects of lighting technology on the growth of a number of strains of algae. This effort is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation SBIR program awarded to Bodega Algae to develop technology to reduce the cost of producing algal biomass. Willy Wilson from Bigelow Labs and his technician Sheri Floge are conducting detailed physiological studies at Bigelow while the Bodega folks in Boston are continuing with larger scale tests in the Bodega light enhanced bioreactor. The results of these tests are driving the development of a 250,000 L reactor. I'm excited to be working with Bigelow and anxiously awaiting more data to crunch in the next few months!
