  • Abstract
    Most people consider algae a nuisance. But it turns out that one man\´s pond scum is another man\´s gold, to draw on an old expression. An algal species with the right properties could be immensely valuable. That\´s why we and others at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in Golden, Colo., have been busy "bioprospecting" for promising scoops of slime.
