The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the University of Toledo (UT) to design and develop a series of complementary approaches to optimize algae productivity for improved biofuel production. Strategies would focus on increasing the scale and productivity of algal cultures, improving biomass composition, and further developing existing methods for biomass productivity optimization (e.g. enhancement of genome editing approaches).
