the dreamforce of the future feelings about what's going on in the industry. instead of being discussed across the continent, dw, and use africa every friday on the w. the whole has a color that is green. one german research team is convinced that algy can help solve some of humanities greatest problems around the globe. biologists are hunting for micro organisms with extraordinary abilities, like lives, the creating algae, which might one day generate climate neutral summit for 10 to verify percent of blood black as far as c o 2 comes from construction to concrete production. yes. now here's a possible concrete substitute, that's the exact opposite. it doesn't produce c o 2 to absorb it absorbs 12 for

over a year. we've accompanied researchers from kaiser's low tones, university of applied sciences to the depths of a spanish case where life on mars is being stimulated here on earth or in space. algae could be the key either can come up 1st, go for a 1st name and i'll give you all can take in waste materials and wasteful to then extract new transfer. mann's office with the light and they can also produce oxygen . so as i can find the c o 2 weeks while creating oxygen in food, same time on this, okay? probably amongst the best organisms for producing food. but i don't know the

an expedition in northern spain, an hours drive from build out the these researchers led by a biologist, me see a lack of toast. are exploring a cave in hopes of discovering new species of algae and furthering their research on known once. they're not exactly sure what awaits then. there are almost 300 caves in this valley alone, and some 4000 in all of count abriya. one cave in particular is of special interest to the german expedition team. the what they discover here is mind blowing. misha, yeah, lack of toes, finds organisms that bear witness to the very origins of life on earth. the got a motorcycle, i've just found

a huge patch with one of the oldest sonya in effect, syria were aware of the big catch. incredible things. i've never seen anything like that. it's quite incredible. i'm at a loss to what we fidget closet. right. what's left him speechless is how these bacteria known colloquially as blue green algae can survive with so little light, the noise on one hand, we really want to discover and isolate new sign and bacteria and use them for the technological applications. at the same time thought when we have in such a marvelous habitat, the 1st question is naturally, how would they survive? so that's what we're doing is we're measuring photo synthesis with this device. but we're also seeing to what extent they've adapted to the light and how they utilize the unofficial prices

for the algae researchers, this category in caves is a godsend. the only person might just the most in booking rock face. but for the biologists, it's a window into a fascinating world. an extraordinary multi generational colony. did you do some shopping? you can see these colorful surface here. these fluffy little gray green pads doesn't. it's visa, cyan, or bacteria. and so with these yellow ones here, these pink jelly light clouds striking the optic, that's the particular sy entered back tyria and we're off the glow. we go back to us clear, we'll talk each one of the oldest leading cyan or bacteria and back to so it's a very basic primitive cyan and bacterium that's leaving here along side more modern species. a bit of, of all the different li gimme they're all living here in the college and career. this is like the misha lack of toast and patrick young are thrilled with the wealth of research material they found and excited

about the new questions that arise from it. the best we know that they can survive without much lice 5, but we don't know exactly what the lower limit sees. what about is also the question of how exactly this works in the low line situation. we've been counted deeper inside the cave, so i entered bacteria population. there is different than that. if we found different species, a certain process is a different to you and either. so the allergy here is quite traffic is responding and i can yes, they can photo synthesizing the dog. we've moved even further into the cave. and despite the total darkness, find species of l. g. living here to feel comfortable, you know, a 100 down and there's only 800004 line from above. can reach them as a volume. allowances in the dog is

a little by simply structure that physiology about that photo synthesis and the spring so they can use nothing in the visible light spectrum. but this would be sweet, really exciting of this. and they may also be able to draw from further along the range of light and that, and the random non or in the fall, right, or the so got was looking. couldn't you understand that it was spanish biologist, antonio gibson, who 1st drew his german colleagues attention to the case and sent them samples. it was the beginning of a great friendship between the spanish and german algae. researchers assigned him saturday and campbell a. you'll get tons of a new field of research. i find it very interesting in terms of the production and research of useful substances of materials. so it is not just the biological aspect which is already fascinating it and that's, but it's also the practical application of something you know that you want. but i think in that regard, and these are patrick and michael's ideas are in line with us. and mike and other words, you think we're happy to continue supporting them on those. and we're looking forward

to working even more closely with the phone numbers. but it's not it. is that a push it till the here instead of you many that as the spanish biologist works for a company that wants to model mars missions here, they've set up a space station of sorts. deep within the cave. the algae research conducted by the german team could also be interesting permissions into space, escape and come up if it's time to take on those that idea. and if you had physically, most of the lines perfectly with our original plan to draw on that potentially lease unexplored micro organisms like gap that all apparently capable of producing substances that have not yet been recess. and a to point out 6 rings to just a moment. so these organisms are in fish competition with each other. so they put to you santibanez has sort of these, most of it didn't know, not on going, but india. and today you are interested in it on a tv, i think like produce new tooth as a service, food for other organisms. so they could serve as food for us just so simple. video

could all be possible. but english, i understand. he meant that the on, but he said a change of scene. we had to the laboratory, a kaiser's low tones, university of applied sciences. the permits ends campus is home to the world's the largest collection of terrestrial cyan, o bacteria, algae that live on the land. not in water for study purposes, there being cultivated and liquid, none the less, over 350 species from all over the world can be found here. gums and large piece yours to. i'm, for example, here your advice selected for cops at the offices from the i'm talk to the union sent you the how guys here we've isolated micro call us for it like our from very hope that's a region. so when a completely new algo, we've identified, even from sol involved in the arctic on the all can attend the, to the country. what does that do? the, the kind of you have to do it has a small red. and

a quite unusual that we don't know why it's the guy just died. researchers started the collection back in the 1950s, the algae from the spanish cave, or the latest edition. and could one day help us face the climate crisis doesn't face it, the baby could somebody be covering and there were some of that kind of caught up in ice for example. cool. how they behave like rebuilding carl and producing a sort of talk. he's kinda tough. she is one of our new projects here is to see whether we can use this is a cement substitution as a cement, as a can be crossed. and um, yeah, 2 bucks. that's a man of all the samples we collected are in here. do you think of something that tom determined researchers are traveling the world on the hunt for new species of algae, the most recently spent 4 weeks in the attic, kama desert, and she'll a while the whole spine of the cactus. here the other trend to polio samples, that's a special type of liking that grows on the tips of the tax id number is next period

. assets are extreme locations. it's very hard and this little volta venue of the organisms can survive. the i can also withstand very high temperatures in by technological reactors, for example, on somebody they will temper to an old phone. that's number one, number 2 and extreme habitats like that to organs. you always find organisms that can do something very special from such as producing special active substances except for adopting specific metabolic pathways. stuff like the big armstrong, some algy enter into symbiosis with fund guy in order to survive and extreme places forming lincoln's patrick young. the found such l, g, fungus symbiosis, and the out of comma the fun. this becomes a kind of sun shade for the algae that is on the, on the, among other things. it also, it provides you the protection against the hush radiation one finds in the to come and visit the c l b and not mobile. they trapped in

a stationary position and somehow have to protect themselves from the sun's rays, which they can't avoid. fits with the like and like these ones that task falls to the funds will talk to them as they produce a certain pigments in the case of these fisheries. those pigments that green is yellow in appearance. another key feature, the colonies survives on very little water. these are all properties that could come in very handy, say in the development of new products. a beacon view. how can we turn organic waste into plastic abundance? early march 2020 to the official launch of a research project called a waste to value. the vision at some point l g will be grown directly on building facades and residents could benefit from the harvest. if bio plastics were able to thrive on such besides, it could also lead to growth and regional economies. all thanks to algae green

fuels could also be created using the same method research as being funded by the german federal state of rhineland, polite, nate, they see it as an investment in the future, going to just the one that in those kind of put us on on the state level, many companies would benefit from becoming a little less dependent on energy supply. as a credit, that's a significant consideration these days are no. we'd also be making a contribution to climate protection from here in rhineland. pleasant as reference, i was kind of hard to hold the german federal ministry of education and research is also funding the project. they've granted 8000000 euros for the 1st 3 years. some in several partners are working with the team from parents sense his shots unknown to get caught up with carly, enjoying an additional spark of interest move just hoping to progress as far as possible with the company's findings, ultimately incrementing some of the only thing is we've been we're searching for yeah. so on this one, got it under forced out. yeah. minds of yes. wonderful was just right. does the 2

researchers are unpacking a new piece of equipment, a photo bio reactor. it will allow them to grow algae that normally live on land in liquid and thereby control the way they reproduce. the documents on the side of the problem as well documents, i think ro, an a controlled amount of stuff. i don't know, large scale. this isn't that we can then control that grows here, and it kind of pre culture and transfer them into the loan to react to the up to one instant. soon analogy that's popular with biologists will be growing in this reactor as of some bars for you. so these, for example, is the elaborate, difficult to buy a technologist working without getting the syndic assistance. so it's used quite frequently and copes ideally, and conditions like past due of 2 months. so that's what you see here. for example, here of the terrestrial out. can you provide those internal stuff in school,

the multi cellular and spread like the little med send it to is feed them into you can see immediate time, they tend to clump together when you have to prevent that with this mixing process . yeah, we're curious to see how we sound be close and then we have no experience with it yet. the, the, the, the convicts this. so i'm on to kind of follow that. you haven't tried yet. yeah. zoom the comp. so was it will take a doing here. we don't even know yet. we carry out as much fun. you want us to inspire that you know, the, the reactor is an important intermediate step towards producing larger quantities of bio plastics or climate friendly summit. one day exist, so this isn't close that window sheet ups is a big difference between trying to force nature into the lab. that's to say, conducting experiments on a small laboratory scale thing and being able to think on a launch or industrial scale and couldn't, that's a whole other botox community as an existent on us not to have to set that took the

longest least connection. that's for the modules the size of a window, the researchers have already commissioned them. the idea is to grow algae on facade inside these photo by a reactors. if it works, the process could save a lot of waste and c o 2. there are other benefits as well. some algy produced natural dies, some could end up on our plates and a lot to me on the now we have solar systems on the roof in the future. we could also cover the east and west facades with these al, give reactors, i then even collect this would regularly come by to office the for the whole we to all of a star cells food order. so say the essence cause noises. a lot of research is still required though space to the new research reactor will soon be housed in this former changing room. and we'll be back for a visit once the researchers have filled it with algae. for now,

it's back to spain. misha locker towson, his spanish colleague, have to send a deep into the cave and reached the mar station. the aim here is to replicate living conditions on the red planet. as realistically as possible, the one day algae might be able to help space pioneers survive on mars. the minds can cut 2 out of 10 not to go up 5 stuff or upsets or to sign a bacteria can say, can waste materials and waste water and extract the nutrients from having a very different lights. like we have a light then compared to so i'll just put it in. as i can find, the cod see leaks hail to fit, creating oxygen and food at the same time by on no, no meant the products and i'll probably be among the best organisms for producing food in the space and can embed. i don't know what the test station in the spanish cave the company hopes to approximate life on

mars. even if some martian conditions are impossible to reproduce, we kinda lost if we need to take a look on the, on the, on the boss selling products. okay. the young thing would be actually to be a much about taking advantage. now we have another mass, wherever brand new. we come made mistakes. diana and i can help us to have him play the bid of some of the course. and then we'd like to help us to, to buy up there and you're going to let me buy all a g as an important area of research for this 1st bound, myers expedition and algae could play a key role here to the main line of investigation with office headquarters, engineering, of course, on biology. everything when it comes to the protocol for the a said to live on so long as the new teens and how come we want to be society and we need to research a piece in a ton of ours. you know,

so everything that i've been to and should have on techniques and your team cuz easy on a food unity. so all that stuff is mostly place to put on the german researchers can hardly wait to find out more about the various ancient algae species. they've discovered in the case they're collecting samples back at their home laboratory impairments ends. they'll place them under the microscope for a closer look demo and then the one thing that will analyze the samples and then definitely take another look at that cheat. so we want to really see it's not just one species or 2 or 3 that will probably many, many different organisms living together have a little microcosm, so to speak. and one of the host to come when that's what we want to find out about the need shuttle to do that when we're carrying out genetic analysis to determine which organisms are living together here on this form. the fact to pam is hence the

new research reactor is full of life in the form of ality. now it's hoped they will multiply and the researchers can grow various algae and the reactor unimportant steps and cultivating alternatives to environmentally harmful plastic. the 4 types you up on this one of the crate advantage of this out to put on a stock is that it can produce by protesting. so that means if you give, it should have given the additional carbon sources from fed starts to produce material cost a time. that's the basic building block for a really crane by plastic. that's called p h b for chauffeur's fuel plastic. that's most by compatible. i'm fine degraded or combustible. is it used to sutures in medicine for example, see about it's prevented from somebody needs to buy them to, to our bodies would probably cope much better with organic plastic in our food than with conventional plastic. under the microscope. you can see the bio plastic that

the algae forms as white dots. there's going to be more more time on this. but what's a problem at the moment? going bike level w w. s. study here is the we ingest, around $100.00 micro particles of mine for plastics with each meal. plastic. that's the equivalent of 2000 pulse because we can do that for 5 grams each week. um, that's the equivalent to the credit card division in minor. typically that means the total average that everyone in the world every week is each a credit card with a plastic and it could be cards a plastic. eventually the laboratories, research reactors will be replaced with these window modules. then everyone can watch algae at work in their own window on the market. this is our calling called so to speak to you about some of these, the much less voltage, just an aerosol sprite, 90 percent less full time. they have pets, of gas exchange, the easier to harvest. and so that is what this is on us model for growing side

effects here, we're in the future in sort of 2 out of 10 not just dies, could be grown here in these beside windows or cosmetics. or even food i didn't, you know the cussing somebody out even in china? no. yes. as a traditional new yes dish for instance. that's the most talk flag in the form of i'll give it's collected from the test that we can grow it here under these conditions and then set it where it's like comp being crime and in the of a liquid process on each box. and then it will take some time before the 1st products made impairments ends come onto the market. we still have a few years to wait to for the 1st organic concrete produced with spanish cave algae use of trucks. this block is now 1st prototype. i'm about to, to you, we introduce to cyan and bacteria strain into the concrete in process of it's not yet one from the case. the, this is a bar tree strain energy about how we carry down south those preliminary tests with

a test to see whether this process works with cyan or back to your, your a tool and in the loan to we want to work with the cyan and bacteria. from the case since they calcified naturally, we can then use the process for concrete productions in this way. the system can be another 2 to 4 years before we've optimized the system to go and the just too soon to tell. yes, we're on the right track. the in our fact in the i feel region, a metal construction company is building for large bio reactors. the window modules will be 2 meters, 40 high one meter 42 across now the questions which one goes with the both and then which at the top of this one here and that there were the algae research or michelle lack of chose to seeing the modules for the 1st time today, because i do at this time amazing. we need to really think, okay,

that should have been roughly key, but then you see how big it is in reality and the minutes as i mentioned that we've never had before. and that's also really important because of, we're always working on a larger scale. use 100 milliliters by maybe 10 meters, is the largest size, but see in our 100 liter, just prove us a whole lot of a story that we're really getting into it. now. on the ground, this guy it'll take me physically going, it's going in close and steve of the, the state of rhineland, pull out native, picking up the bill around $80000.00 euros to produce 4 modules. 3 actors can be set up in a laboratory. however, the researchers can also hang them on building facades and grow l g. there is nothing comfortable might look for as far as the water comes in from the top just is mixed with the status and then spreads through the whole entire area. and the, when it trips down, it's fed out again at the bottom and circulates back to the top of the down whole slide to see if we get them for the small metal and steel construction company. it

was quite an order, not least because they had to procure acid resistance, stainless steel. but when i read the cool for tend isn't so bio reactive at 1st i wanted what it was. so is it something atomic? that's what it sounds like. it 1st go in retrospect so it makes a lot of similes, thing going. i must say, i find what they doing. they have very interesting was because i'm a fan of the project, something for you. and you'll find that to prevent the algae in the module from getting too much light for dying from overheating. sun protection is built in the fact that it never disruption so high inside of the react. and mustn't get too hard as good because otherwise the out you would get to halt as well. and di, um yeah, that's why we've changed it from the sun 1st from above. and then again from the side to then, we'll have called the pumps and the codes that will surprise to provide even more shades for the results. vision of under the course of this type of assessment for

them to act on the lp and the reactors will soon be producing file plastic and absorbing c o. 2 from the air. they'll be hung on an actual facade and should guard for research purposes me say a lack of toast is convinced elegy reactors like this. have a great future ahead of them and will one day be part of every city escape. this is this moment tom view like photo more tight and then we have photos of all tags. where in the 1970s we've developed it. so just making a new crop quickly, we can actually get in to use a lot of houses in houses. ultimately that's up to the politicians, certainly intended us to put it if they subsidize, it doesn't feel good will happen very quickly without the size of the world of cost . well, it's certainly part of the mix forced time from feeling for now the l. g researchers from parents and still have a lot of exploring to do in every corner of the planet

the,

of the shape. the brains of green matter is super important. it please am, need your role and how we develop our memories and learn to so how do we teach free matters in tip top shape tips, tricks, and insights to make learning easier in good shape? coming up on the double come 6 zone with tim sebastian countries of

what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland, which was the time. and again, the poor thing was much beyond his board is no one. listen, my guess this week and more so just to just to some of this stuff out of them. but now i got over to you. but the warnings because the government have to use the same conflict in 30 minutes on the w, the dream of resolution in 1979, the hated dictated somoza was forced out of the people hoped for cyrus society and received international solidarity. i imagined we would change the world
