With more of us looking for alternatives to eating animals, new research has found a surprising environmentally friendly source of protein -- algae. The University of Exeter study has been published in The Journal of Nutrition and is the first of its kind to demonstrate that the ingestion of two of the most commercially available algal species are rich in protein which supports muscle remodeling in young healthy adults.

    What you said on the 1st sentence is okay. After that, is clueless. …in the context of discussing the difficulties - technical and economical - of growing specific algae for food.

    After sterilising everything and sigeling out the alge you want you should in theory be able to run more or less indefinitely.

    This is like saying that if there’s sun and no clouds, in theory, the sky should be blue. In practice there’s no useful information added to the discussion on the…

    And if a contamination of found it just a matter of sterilizing everything with steam and reboot the system.

    Like in all that is microbiology, kind of. Except steam is not sterilising. Unless under autoclave pressures. Inside an autoclave. Even in those conditions, which are agreed to be sterilising, even then not all microbes are killed and contamination is still considered as an issue in some cases. Again, in practice there’s no useful information added to the discussion on the…

    Your non-expert overconfidence is not unique. It’s an epidemic. And that’s why I’m triggered to comment on it.

      And by that logic neither have you added anything useful so far with two long posts in this thread. So I guess we are even now? :)
