🌱✨ Grow Your Fuel! Biodiesel From Nannochloropsis salina 3-Week Student Challenge ________________________________________ 🔬🧪 What You Will Do • 🌿 Grow N. salina in your own mini‑photobioreactor. • 📏 Measure optical density (OD) and track growth. • 💡 Adjust light, nutrients, and aeration to boost productivity. • 🧴 Perform the SPV lipid assay to measure oil content. • 🏁 Compete with other teams to create the best biodiesel‑ready algae culture! ________________________________________ ⭐🚀 Your Mission Maximize biodiesel potential by optimizing: - 📈 Biomass — how much algae you grow - 🟡 Lipids — how much oil the algae produce 🎯 Final Score = 0.6 × Lipid Score + 0.4 × Biomass Score ________________________________________ 📅🗂️ Weekly Schedule Week 1 — 🧫 Setup & Early Growth Intro • Inoculate cultures • Baseline OD & pH • Choose strategy Week 2 — 🌞 Optimization & Lipid Induction Measure OD & pH • Adjust light/nutrients/aeration • Apply nitrogen limitation • First SPV lipid test Week 3 — 🔍 Final Measurements & Competition Final OD • Final SPV lipid assay • Calculate biodiesel score • Present results • Awards ________________________________________ 🧠💡 Tips for Success • 📝 Record all measurements carefully. • 🔧 Change only one variable at a time. • 🟨 Nitrogen limitation increases lipids (but don’t starve them!). • 📊 Think like a scientist: plan → test → analyze → improve. • 👀 Observe color changes — darker green often means healthier biomass. ________________________________________ 🏆🥇 Awards • 🌟 Best Biodiesel Potential • 🌱 Best Growth • 📘 Best Lab Notebook • 💡 Most Innovative Strategy • 🧼 Cleanest Lab Team ________________________________________ 🚀🌍 Welcome to the Challenge! You’re about to do real biotechnology — growing, measuring, optimizing, and competing. Good luck, and may the best microalgae team win!
