[edit] Changing focus

Instead of focusing on algea, this should be an article that includes:

[edit] Germany, more info

A course on how to do it Ruhr University Bochum. and the project "biomimetischen Produktion von Wasserstoff". Institute of Molecular Bioscience University of Queensland Brisbane and Bielefeld University is doing research on stm6. For Karlsruhe, The technical Universität Karlsruhe (TH) is doing the bioreaktors Source. Cheers. Mion 12:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Made it less cheery

Look, I changed the wording around to make it a little more realistic. To say that it would an area the size of Texas would be "sufficient" to supply world with hyrdogen is extremely glib. Change it back if you want but tone it down a little. The original author wrote it as if it's simply a matter of "planting" algae instead of soya beans. Please!

[edit] Intro

In the late 1990s it was discovered that if algae are deprived of sulfur they will switch from the production of oxygen, as in normal photosynthesis, to the production of hydrogen.

Which algae? Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as per below? This statement suggests a generalization for all algae, which may not be the case, considering that the algae represent many independent evolutionary origins. In addition, the citation for this should be moved up to the intro, i.e. the first mention in the article of this research.--♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 17:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
