In this episode I take you on a wild scientific ride. If you took molecular biology, it will come in handy today! This discovery means allows Carrine to grow algae using products from 2 different waste streams: A polymer called chitin, which is a material used by crustaceans and mushrooms in their shells and cell wall structure. Waste water with dissolved phosphorus. The algae turn all this into 2 viable market products: Astaxanthin, which can be used for it’s red dye or antioxidant properties. Biofuel - as a replacement for fossil fuel. while cleaning the phosphorus from the water. If you get lost in the science, don’t worry - I throw you a rescue line with a simple explanation of the whole system part-way through this conversation. The implications of Carrine’s discovery are far-reaching -- I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about this discovery, where she might take it, and what other developments and technologies may eventually spring from it.
