Track 1: Progress in Algal Biology Research
Tuesday, October 1 | 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
This panel will examine the factors that control carbon flux to lipids, carbohydrates and other products in diatoms and green algal systems. Approaches to be discussed include the targeted metabolic manipulation of pathways to increase lipid production and the overall study of material fluxes as cells transition from heterotrophic to mixotrophic and photoautotrophic growth conditions.

Algenol’s World-class Facility
Seating is Limited – Register Now
Thursday, October 3
12:30pm – 9:00 pm
Algenol
| As an attendee of the Algae Biomass Summit, you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to tour the most sophisticated algae facility in the world where an algae strain can go from lab-scale development to commercial-scale production on one site.Algenol’s commercial development campus includes a 70,000 square feet of world-class molecular biology, culture collection, physiology, aquaculture, analytical chemistry and engineering laboratories. The tour will showcase Algenol’s Process Development Unit (PDU), which consists of aquaculture laboratory, inoculation greenhouses and 3 acres of outdoor controlled testing area for initial deployment and optimization activities.
The Integrated Biorefinery will showcase 4000 of Algenol’s 2nd generation modular photobioreactors containing advanced proprietary algae producing in excess of 9,000 gallons of ethanol per acre per year. Spent algae from the ethanol process will be converted next year into jet, diesel and gasoline green fuels through hydrothermal liquefaction and light hydrotreating for an additional 1,350 gallons per acre per year. This commercial module deployment is automated and will be producing fuel grade ethanol on site in 2013. |

More information on Algenol and its commercialization strategy can be found here.
*Important: This tour includes a three hour bus trip each way. The tour will depart at the conclusion of the Algae Biomass Summit plenary session on Thursday and return to the Orlando area around 9pm. Shuttles from Algenol to the Ft. Meyers airport will be available for tour attendees choosing to depart the conference from this airport at the conclusion of the tour. Attendees should choose flights departing the Ft. Meyers airport no earlier than 6pm.

Daytona International Speedway and Kennedy Space Center
| The tour begins at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where attendees will have an opportunity to view the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which until this summer was not available for viewing. Additionally, attendees can participate in the Shuttle Launch Experience, view the Apollo/Saturn V Center and spend time in the complex gift shop.The Daytona International Speedway will welcome tour attendees for lunch and an afternoon learning about this storied racing facility. Tour guides will provide attendees with walk through tours of the drivers meeting room, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garage areas, Gatorade Victory Lane and a lap around the super speedway. This tour provides conference attendees with an excellent networking opportunity set in two of the Orlando area’s most popular attractions.
