Group 1
During lab today, the group narrowed down the list of feasible algae candidates. As of now, the best algae belong to the genus Chlorella - chosen for its ability to live in freshwater, its relatively fast reproduction rate, because it does not form mats or strands when growing, and for its high photosynthetic efficiency.
Research needs to be done to determine which species of Chlorella is the best choice to grow in the culture. The noted species are Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and Chlorella sorokiniana.
