Cultures of Nannochloropis oceanica IMET1 and Scenedesmus obliquus HTB1 with bacterial MAGs Raw sequence reads
This project works with two strains of microalgae, Scenedesmus obliquus strain HTB1 and Nannochloropsis oceanica strain IMET1, studying the mechanisms involved in scrubbing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). We developed a high alkalinity, high pH system that efficiently scrubbed high concentrations of carbon dioxide (5-10%) from power plant flue gas using photosynthesis-driven biomass production and calcium carbonate precipitation. Metagenomics sequencing recovered 7 high quality metagenome assemble genomes (MAGs) of interest.
