Down-Selection and Outdoor Evaluation of Novel, Halotolerant Algal Strains for Winter Cultivation

Algae offer promising feedstocks for the production of renewable fuel and chemical intermediates. However, poor outdoor winter cultivation capacity currently limits deployment potential. In this study, 300 distinct algal strains were screened in saline medium to determine their cultivation suitabili...
