RE: Using Algae for Wastewater Treatment and Biofuel Production
What is the microscopy showing? Also, I am unable to see your video! I'm looking forward to learning more about your work.

Thanks for the comment. I fixed the video I think. It worked for me, but was set to private on YouTube. The microscopy is mostly there to be pretty, but it is showing a clump of algae (some alive, some dead) bound together by bacteria or a substance produced by bacteria. The bacteria are much smaller, so can't really be seen (without using a different stain).
Cool. What is the blue?
Good question! At the time I was just trying lots of combinations of different fluorescent stains that bind to different things and different input light wavelengths, so it is hard to be certain! It could actually be some bacteria (DAPI stained) on the outside of an algae cell.
