Last week we finished the hardware setup, and everything to make sure it didn't screw up the moment it was turned on, and we ordered our organisms! Due to the budget restrictions and the shifting direction this project is taking with the bioremediation being a core element as opposed to a feature, we have adjusted the test organisms. Still looking at gold. Still looking at nanoparticles, but also now we are looking at Forever Chemical remediation. If you haven't heard yet, here is what those are: https://www.ewg.org/what-are-pfas-chemical A thank you for Waymos USA Inc, for supplying the resources needed for testing. Material support is always wonderful. Also! We thought maybe y'all, the people watching this happen, would like to help us out. We will be working with 3 primary species with the options to develop consortia for a more effective process. They are: SCENEDESMUS QUADRICAUDA

TETRASELMIS

SYNECHOCYSTIS NIGRESCENS

We're looking for suggestions on what to name our small team of hard working organisms. 3 bioreactors, 3 consortia with the above as the keystones. Drop a suggestion in the comments and maybe get one named by you! Thank you. Pictures incoming as the organisms arrive.
