Week 1 CO2 data

Carbon Dioxide levels produced by kombucha culture growing in absence of Spirulina platensis in minature green house for one week. Measurements were taken every 30 minutes for seven days. Carbon Dioxide measured in parts per million (PPM). Time is recorded according to a 24-hour clock; any hour above 12:00 is after noon, and 00:00 is midnight.

About This Project

We intend to test the efficacy of Spirulina platensis (Sp.) to pull carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere via respiratory metabolism. Kombucha, which produces CO2 as a byproduct, will be grown in an enclosed environment next to a culture of Sp. A CO2 meter will be used to measure the CO2 levels produced by the kombucha culture in the presence and absence of Sp. Sp. concentration will be monitored via hemocytometer to correlate CO2 reduction with the amount of Sp. present.
