✦ Synopsis

The versatility of hydrogen makes it a likely candidate for a universal fuel, and Congress has recently voted to increase research spending in this area. This conference will examine organismal approaches (bacteria, green algae, and cyanobacteria), bioreactor engineering and large scale systems, institutional issues such as culture collectors, databases, and international cooperation, marine-based systems, and commercialization. The editor, Oskar Zaborsky, is the editor of the Plenum series, Marine Biotechnology.
