A seaweed farm in Uroa, Zanzibar Algaculture in Kibbutz Ketura, Israel. Algaculture is a form of aquaculture involving the farming of species of algae. [1]The majority of algae that are intentionally cultivated fall into the category of microalgae (also referred to as phytoplankton, microphytes, or planktonic algae).
Ketura is unique among kibbutzim for its religious pluralism. Although the kibbutz is not considered a religious kibbutz, Jewish dietary laws (kashrut) and Sabbath rules are observed in the dining room, public areas, and at social and cultural events, and there is a functioning congregation-led egalitarian synagogue.
Evenari received the Israel Prize in 1986 and in 1988, together with Otto Ludwig Lange, the Balzan Prize. In 2001, the Evenarí Forum , a Darmstadt-based centre for German-Jewish studies in the fields of technology, nature sciences, history and cultural studies, was named in his honour, and in 2010 a Stolperstein bearing his name was laid in ...

The infection process begins with the interaction between the lectins and the sugar moieties, and can end with the collapse of the algae culture. Prof. Boussiba's researches, spanning over ten years of work, were the basis for the establishment of an astaxanthin production plant from the Haematococcus microalgae in Kibbutz Ketura in the Arava ...
Isaac is a faculty member at the Department of Engineering, Reykjavik University, Iceland [9] and the Faculty for Marine Sciences, Ruppin Academic Center, Israel. [10] Berzin was a senior faculty member at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya and established an Israel-based international institute to formulate alternative energy policies. [11]
Iran started investigating the production of algae from 2000. Scientific evidence shows that south Iran is the richest area in the world for cultivating algae, because of high humidity, sunny weather, large unused area and salty water. [2] The first version of algae based biofuel will become available for industrial purposes in 2015. [3]
In 1942 Harder and Von Witsch were the first to propose that microalgae be grown as a source of lipids for food or fuel. [3] [4] Following World War II, research began in the US, [5] [6] [7] Germany, [8] Japan, [9] England, [10] and Israel [11] on culturing techniques and engineering systems for growing microalgae on larger scales, particularly species in the genus Chlorella.
