Edited by Ami Ben-Amotz, Juergen Polle, and Subba Rao, to be released May 2009 by Science Publishers, Enfield, NH, USA.
The genus Dunaliella has been one of the most studied members of Chlorophyceae and is represented by 27 species, of which 23 are from salt water. Species of Dunaliella occur in freshwater, euryhaline habitats of all continents, oceans including the Dead Sea and even the salt lakes of the Antarctic. These extremophiles thrive in habitats with a wide range of salinity, pH, light intensity and temperature.
This volume presents a state-of-the art research in biochemistry, molecular biology and medical application. A glossary of specialized terms is appended. Each chapter is contributed by an expert or group of experts dedicated to increase our understanding of Dunaliella. All the chapters were reviewed internally by their colleagues, editors and external reviewers; this was followed by a final revision.
The book provides a balanced multi-disciplinary communication and contributes to our understanding of this unique alga. It is addressed to graduate students and scientists as a summary of current thoughts on Dunaliella.

While North America’s nascent offshore wind turbine industry is scarcely out of diapers, a Danish renewable energy development agency is convening a gathering of international scientists this spring to figure out whether aging turbines in the Baltic Sea can be pressed into service to grow algae for use as a biofuel feedstock.
Organized by Baltic Sea Solutions, the workshop will take place April 20-22, 2009, on Lolland, a sleepy Danish island that has set itself up as a host for numerous renewable energy pilot projects. It is also home to Vindeby, the world’s first offshore wind farm, an 11-eleven turbine facility that went into service in 1990.

Lolland, Denmark
An international team of world-famous scientists, engineers, and economists will assemble on Lolland this spring to consider the possibility of making the biofuels of the future from microscopic algae. Why is the workshop on Lolland? With the world’s first and largest installation of offshore windmills, Lolland is the natural location for this algae workshop because of its long commitment to alternative energy development and because its windmill farms could serve as an excellent location for the installation of the first offshore algae cultivation facility.
The international workshop will take place from April 20-22, 2009 and is organized by Baltic Sea Solutions (Bass) along with an international scientific team led by Dr. Jonathan Trent, Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz and Science Lead for the Global Research into Energy and the Environment at NASA (GREEN). The other scientific team members are: Dr. Lene Lange, Vice Dean of Research for the Faculties of Engineering, Natural Sciences and Medicine at Aalborg University, Denmark. Dr. Qiang Hu, Professor, Department of Applied Biological Sciences, Arizona State University. Dr. Maurice Averner, NASA Program Manager (Retired), NASA Fundamental Biology Program. Dr. Peter Lindblad, Professor, Department of Photochemistry and Molecular Science, Uppsala University, Sweden.

Welcome. This website is intended to inform you about the upcoming workshop in Lolland, Denmark on April 20-22, 2009. The workshop will focus on the feasibility of cultivating microalgae, primarily for biofuels, in offshore environments. The goal of the workshop is to identify the pro’s and con’s of working offshore and to create a roadmap for those who would like to follow that path. Your comments and ideas are most welcome…
