Photo-periods are vital to growing algae. The diurnal day-night cycle is a fundamental influence on how algae evolved. Photoperiods have dramatic impacts on the life-cycle of algae and each species has its preferred day-night cycle.

Most algae growth occurs using a 12-hour on, and 12-hour off photoperiod. However, lengthening, or shortening the ratio has impacts on cell physiology and response. If "sun-hours" are increasing, the alga know that summer is coming and increases photosynthetic response.

If you shorten "sun-hours,” alga respond to "coming winter" producing more lipids. Algae for Biodiesel offers a real source of Carbon-neutral transportation fuels. Algae for Biodiesel can be grown using waste-water streams from Agricultural, and livestock sources, with true Carbon neutrality. Carbon for algae growth comes from the atmosphere, and is returned to the atmosphere when consumed.
