Solix started with an algae species found in North Sea
"We started with a 50-milliliter algal culture in June," Willson says. "It was from a species found in the North Sea that contains high amounts of lipids, which are the source of oil. The algae divide asexually, and through the miracle of exponential growth, we now have countless trillions of cells. It’s staggering how abundant this resource is." - Read More

Choosnig algae strains is no easy task
Just choosing which kind of algae to start with is a herculean task. There are well over 100,000 species, each adapted to grow in different environments at different rates, and each capable of producing different amounts of oil—or none at all. The government collected more than 3000 different strains from all over the world in the 1980s, 300 of which were deemed promising. - Read More

1000s of Algae Strains, Only 300 Or So Have Potential for Oil
Bert Cutts, who used to serve on the South Carolina Biomass Council and now owns a business called Synfratech, has been working with algae for about six months. He said there are thousands of algae strains, but only 300 or fewer have been identified as containing enough oil to produce a fuel. - Read More
