Explore: Algae As Building Materials

Bio-based building materials incorporate biomass, which is derived from renewable materials of biological origin such as plants, (normally co-products

Coralline algae are red algae in the order Corallinales, characterized by a thallus containing calcareous deposits within its cell walls, giving it hardness

photosynthesis is performed. Photoautotrophic eukaryotes such as red algae, green algae and plants perform photosynthesis in chlorophyllic organelles

An algae bioreactor is used for cultivating micro or macroalgae. Algae may be cultivated for the purposes of biomass production (as in a seaweed cultivator)

purposes, such as building materials, ornaments, writing materials, and, in great variety, for medicines. The scientific study of plants is known as botany,

phyla, with different organisms leading reef-building in different geological periods. Coralline algae are important contributors to reef structure.
