IDEA #44F1VP Application of brassinosteroid suspensions/and or solutions along with bacteria to increase growth in algae culture. 13A0040

The new process of cultivation increases the biomass production of algae cultures, thereby increasing the biomass productivity of algae for commercial applications. Our tests have shown 24-Epibrassinolide (=Brassinosteroid) to have synergistic, positive effects on algae growth when applied to cultures of green algae containing specific bacteria. D. What un-met needs does this invention fulfill in the relevant field? Use as much space as necessary. Currently, for algae cultivation to be more economically feasible for biofuels and other algae-related products, the growth rate (i.e. biomass accumulation) has to be increased.
