$OOIL ~ Algae cultures that are open to the environment are susceptible to contamination by rotifers and other grazing organisms such as amoebae, ciliates, bacteria, and fungi. These contaminants have a large adverse impact on algae productivity and can “crash” algae cultures in a short period of time. OriginOil will use its Algae Screen™ technology, which disinfects algae cultures continuously by selectively damaging or killing these contaminants while having minimal impact on the algae.
