Abstract
Early detection of algal infection using direct real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry Robert S. Pomeroy, Teaching Professor at UC San Diego, guides us through the early detection of algal infections using direct real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Petroleum, from the Latin “rock oil,” has transformed our lives. It has changed how we live, work, and play. Petroleum is, however, nothing more than ancient algae. The transformation of biomass to hydrocarbons results from being subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Algae accumulate oils that, when extracted, can be converted into renewable fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. In 1978, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Aquatic Species Program to investigate energy production using algae. (1) The establishment of this program coincided with the rapidly rising fuel cost due to the Oil Embargo in 1973 and led to the creation of the U.S. Department of Energy.
