The key is to manage these risks vs. potential gains.<BR/><BR/>My 2¢:<BR/><BR/>1. The fuel itself, is not likely to be consumed by humans/animals (diesel/ethanol). Therefore, what we have to focus on is the algae cake. There has been some talk about using this algae cake as fish feed.<BR/><BR/>2. As I mentioned in my writeup, Nature optimizes the algae such that each alga has high number of chlorophyll units. On the other hand, in the case of cross-contamination of algal cultures, the genetically modified algae with truncated ChlA units will likely not survive in the wild.TheLighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019559931842016011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126847305205297792.post-62652079226529110472008-12-25T06:50:00.000-08:002008-12-25T06:50:00.000-08:00This genetic modification is going to be the end o...This genetic modification is going to be the end of us all. One day some mutant plants will all turn into Venus fly traps, only they will turn into Venus-human-traps and will eat humans/cars and anything. Stop GMO already!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
