Description
Production of plant fertilizers and bioproducts with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria the overall objectives of this research are to develop a novel agricultural technology based on cultivating N2-fixing cyanobacteria ('blue-green' microalgae), with the harvested biomass used for commercial biostimulants, biofertilizers and other applications. N2-fixing strains will be selected that exhibit high and stable productivities in open pond cultures, the biomass harvested with simple screens and/or settling, and tested for use as organic fertilizers, as crop biostimulants and for extraction of phycocyanin, a food colorant. Costs, CO2 utilization, potential for greenhouse gas reductions, and environmental and social benefits will be projected based on detailed engineering, life cycle, and community benefits studies.
