A room that interested me a lot at the museum was a small exhibit on a photobioreactor. Basically, it went through the process of algae production for use in biofuels. What I've seen is algae harvested in glass tubes. The exhibit I saw today had strong flexible plastic. The algae is used in medicines, food, cosmetics and fuel.

    Heidi's comment: Really cool to think of all the uses for algae. It was nice to see the processes of the algae too.

    That room was so cool. Who knew algae could be used in medicine?

    That is very cool! I don't think I'd want to use algae as cosmetics or food though.

    I thought this exhibit was interesting as well! I never thought of having algae in my food and medicine before, so that was an interesting piece to see!
