Green Star Announces Algae Breakthrough
SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 25, 2008 --
Green Star Products, Inc. (OTC:GSPI) announced that a major breakthrough
has been achieved which substantially increases the algae growth rate of
certain strains of microalgae.
Algae scientists have long searched for a micronutrient formula to
increase the growth rate of algae biomass. Now, Biotech Research, Inc.,
a consortium partner of Green Star, has confirmed a daily growth rate
increase of 34% using the “Montana
Micronutrient Booster (MMB)” formula. This
growth rate booster can increase the total biomass quantity in a harvest
algae growth cycle by well over 100%. The tests where conducted at
Biotech Research’s lab facility at the UABC
University in Ensenada, Mexico (see press release dated Nov. 20, 2007).
Joseph LaStella, president of Green Star Products, stated: “This
breakthrough formula is too important to the algae processing industry
for any single company to hold for their personal use. Microalgae
production holds real answers to the many serious problems facing the
world today, including global fuel shortages, global warming and food
supply shortages.”
It is the intention of Green Star to make this product available
throughout the world.
The UABC testing has shown that 1:10,000 nutrient dilution rates were
very productive (i.e. one gallon of MMB mixed with 10,000 gallons of
water). Even at 1:20,000 dilution levels, the MMB was still effective.
Green Star will make available 12-oz sample bottles to all universities,
research institutes and commercial facilities for testing on their
specific strains of algae.
Mr. LaStella further stated, “We do not know
if this formula will work on all species of algae and Green Star intends
to create a database that will be published on our website based on
feedback from all entities participating in the sampling program. All
participants will be asked to submit their results to Green Star and
summaries will be published to the entire industry.”
Mr. LaStella also stated, “If the algae
industry works together we will all benefit by identifying which strains
of algae can be improved collectively. Hopefully, the entire industry
can be accelerated into near term production.”
Those universities and research facilities that have previously
contacted Green Star will receive the samples at no cost. All others who
wish to receive the 12-oz sample formula, which can treat 3,500 liters
of algae culture, will be required to pay $50 to cover ingredients,
bottling, packaging, and shipping. Please send an email to Green Star at info@GreenStarUSA.com
to register.
A picture of the Biotech Research test is posted on our website. It
identifies three sets of twin algae photobioreactors (each containing
80-liters) that contain three different concentrations of the MMB
formula. The picture also includes two control photobioreactors. This
picture indicates greater algae growth based on green color differential.
