This article has a ton of potential, if you need to move links, move them to the bottom, or leave as is. I will be happy to work on this to bring it up to snuff.

thread_title:  clean up 

message: the paragraph break here is confusing, i don't know enough without following links to see where it should break - i think "Porphyra" discussion continues over para 1 - para 2 break, and then para 2
goes on to discuss Chondrus crispus
also, should "Oriental" be replaced with "Asian" or "Eastern Asian" or something? a bit archaic?

thread_title:  massive links 

message: I think it would be interesting to find some good information on the work that Nasa has done in studying algae, i'm sure they've experimented with it for use in the space station, pollution control, oxygen production, etc,  but they may even have some old papers from the 60's for its use in creating an atmosphere on mars, was it "Red Planet", the movie with Val Kilmer that was about that?.   I don't know whether those ideas were developed more in the realm of science, or science fiction.

===good Idea, but wikipedia is not a crystal ball===
Though it is a use for algae, I dont believe it is relevant to algaculture.  If there is a compelling argument for adding a terraforming section to this article, by all means, cram it in

thread_title: good Idea, but wikipedia is not a crystal ball

message: The history and uses of algae section was just copied from the "algae" article.  I think the heading is good, but the content is all about macroalgae, and i don't believe that any of the strains listed in that section are actually cultivated, but harvested, similar to the way a fishing boat would harvest fish from the ocean, as opposed to breeding them in a fishery.  
Also, more focus might be put into the history of algae cultivation, as the commercial and industrial uses section will be much more developed later on.
a simplistic outline might be:
*aztecs
*beginnings of a scientific research in the 40's 
(Note: if you plan to use this as an outline, scientific research began as early as the 1840's - I'm assuming "40's" here references the 1940's Gramby (talk) 07:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  History and uses of algae 

message: 1st, I copy-edited the bulk of the article and corrected many of the obvious errors.  There is likely to be more that I missed, but what the heck-  Spelling, grammer, punctuation corrected, Main photo changed.  
Now, it seems that this article should be called algaculture for biofuel, being most of the information is on that... There are far more uses for it.  Nutrition, hunger, employment- to name a few.  Someone with some information and sources needs to get in and add a little more info.
All I know is what I can read in the few short hours (hour?) i have to my self.

message: Can someone explain the caption "A very scientific Chlorella farm?"  At first glance it looked like some smart aleck comment introduced by some random vandal (my first thought was "A Very Brady Christmas"!), but it appears to have been around for a while.  Presumably there is something to it. --Bletch 04:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I always thought that image looked fake, but then I'm biased and think all chlorella stuff to be marketing pseudoscience :) so I thought the caption was kind of a joke on that, the image itself is unreferenced and so should be marked for deletion from wiki maybe, that said the image is better than the one before, which was a picture of a wall! (included here for your viewing pleasure). Ever hear of 'project rho'?  they use the picture too, regards sbandrews 13:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If the veracity of the image is in doubt, it should be removed.  Besides, there is a better image here:   --Bletch 14:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

text: yup, it's much better, but 'Copyright 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.' it says at the bottom of the article - the US government had an algae project, the aquatic species program - but I can't find any pictures of their open algae ponds - we could use those pics if we could find 'em sbandrews 14:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Touche.  Either way, I put the other image up on Images for Deletion.  .  Imagine the consequences for wiki if we found out that image came from an episode of Star Trek or something (yeah its very unlikely, but it can't be disproven) --Bletch 04:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

text: ha! removed the offending image from here and chlorella, good work bletch, ok, beam me up scotty sbandrews 11:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "very scientific?" 

message: Changed some of the more glaring grammar mistakes in the "History and Uses" section and added a little bit more about the microalgae. I have left their citations for another day as I don't have my materials with me, although rest assured that these claims are indeed supported by valid research and are not merely pseudoscience...

message: Please take a look at that which was recently reverted by vincecate. This was what I had added (unfortunately I was not logged in). I still believe I am correct, and not Vince. I'd appreciate it if some others who were knowledgeable in the field of refining plant oils could help clear up this matter, and perhaps expound on it. See my reference in the reverted text, and others which I reference at the Botryococcus braunii article. Bobkeyes (talk) 03:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The way you had it implied that only Botryococcus braunii could be refined.  This is wrong.  You talk about it under vegetable oil refining that it is refined differently.   That vegetable oil can be refined should be in Algaculture, talking about that type being refined differently I think should not be here, but in the vegetable oil refining article if anywhere.  Regular vegetable oil is refined in commercial quantities right now.  I don't think there is anyone doing that type in commercial quantities.  So implying that that was the only one that could be refined is wrong.  Look at vegetable oil refining to see how regular vegetable oil is refined.  Vincecate (talk) 09:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reversion of 192955811 

message: I think that the section "Oil Extraction" should be moved to the article "Biofuel from algae".  Anyone for or against this idea?  Vincecate (talk) 20:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving Oil Extraction to Biofuel from algae 

message: I added this landmark current research of Philippines due to its bio-diversity: Ateneo de Manila University's Department of Environmental Science, isolated Philippines species, on algal mass production to source out oil as alternative source of fuel. "Carbon dioxide as a product of aerobic decomposition can be utilized to enhance the growth of the algal species. Since the alga is also a rich source of proteins and carbohydrates, upon extraction of oil, the  algae can still be utilized as food for livestock or fish; 1,000 to 10,000 gallons of algae are needed to produce a liter of biodiesel."abs-cbnnews.com, Ateneo scientists working on algae as biodiesel source --Florentino floro (talk) 06:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder about the figure 1000 - 10,000 gallons of algae are needed to produce a liter of biodiesel. First, is gallons an appropriate unit to use for algae? does it refer to wet or dry algae? Plus, the numbers seem unbelievably high. Compare: about 10 pounds of olives (1-2 gallons) makes a liter of olive oil . Further, this link  says algae can yield up 10,000 gallons of oil per acre, perhaps that's where the 10,000 gallons number comes from? Or are there 10,000 x 10,000 = 100 million gallons of algae per acre? maxsch (talk) 19:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
