Algae are high-yielding photosynthetic micro-organisms. They can be cultivated to produce edible oils,and biodiesel. Unlike fossil fuels,biodiesel is non-toxic and biodegradeable. Algaecan also be dried and used as a fertiliser,animal feed or burned as biomass. Solazyme is using synthetic biology and genetic engineering to produce novel strains of algae.
