Ashlyn and Cade Speak at the NHSEMP Symposium: A Cost-Efficient Photo-bioreactor
Renewable energy has been a hot topic for a long time now. Many countries have set goals to reduce their dependence on non-renewable energy sources such as coal and oil. One such renewable energy source is biofuel, which is derived from plants, algae, and other organic sources. However, producing biofuels on a large scale can […]
Abi and Kayla at the REU Symposium
Understanding Fungal-Algal Symbiosis for Screening Productive Strains for Co-Production of Valuable Bioproducts Fungi and algae are two organisms that are commonly found in many different environments, and they can often be found living together in symbiotic relationships. The study of these relationships has become increasingly important in recent years, as researchers have discovered that fungal-algal […]
Lipid extraction and FAME assay training
Introduction Lipid extraction is a common technique in biochemistry that involves the separation of lipids from biological samples. Lipids are essential biomolecules that perform numerous functions in cells, such as serving as structural components of cell membranes, energy storage molecules, and signaling molecules. One of the most widely used methods for lipid extraction is the […]
