UKRI Stories | Have you ever seen an algae collection? One of the world's largest! @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Science isn’t always glassware full of colourful liquid – but at CCAP, it is!
Algae and protozoa are often overlooked, but they have some amazing abilities:
👉 Marine algae produce most of the oxygen in our atmosphere
👉 Some algae could help us design greener industrial processes
👉 A type of tropical alga can reduce the methane emissions of cattle by 80% when added to their feed.
From their lab at SAMS Marine Science (Scotland), CCAP carries out research on these amazing organisms and supplies data and specimens to other scientists all over the world.
