Slime : how algae created us, plague us, and just might save us (engelsk)
Af Ruth Kassinger (2019)
Without algae, none of us would exist. Crude oil is made of dead algae, and algae are the ancestors of all plants. Meet the algae innovators working toward a sustainable future: from seaweed farmers in South Korea, to scientists using it to clean the dead zones in our waterways, to the entrepreneurs fighting to bring algae fuel and plastics to market
