Nutzung der Sonnenenergie-Möglichkeiten mit Mikroorganismen

From numerous possibilities of biological energy conversion 3 examples with photoautotrophic microorganisms are discussed:Dunaliella producing glycerol,Botryococcus synthesizing hydrocarbons and photosynthetic bacteria evolving hydrogen in the light. These processes are initiated by environmental stress and lead to a single high energy product with a quantum yield comparable to the solar energy conversion in plants in general. However not enough is known on the regulatory aspects and the, biotechnological problems of such large scale photobiological processes are not yet solved.
