Washington -(Science Service)- Algae that "turn out" more oxygen and increase 1,000-fold in one day even at temperature as high as 100 degrees Farenheit hold two possible promises for man's future, Dr. Constantine Soro kin has reported. With their more effective conversion of carbon dioxide into "organic products of great economic value" low temperature algae increase only eight-fold in the same time period we may actu ally see a revolution in agri culture, Dr. Sorokin said. The protein in algae is the Belle !same and as nutritious, as mat in meat, in ruture years, Dr. Sorokin, who is at the University of Maryland, pre dicted, we may be growing algae for food instead of crops that have remained basically the same throughout man's history as a farmer. However, he said, the algae will prob ably be processed chemically before being used as a food. While some nations do not have a food shortage now, the use of algae as a source of human food is currently being intensively studied in places, such as Israel and Japan, where farming land is scarce. With the problem of feeding world population that ap pears to be growing explosiv ely, Dr. Sorokin pointed out, even nations such as the United States with its food surplus may be interested in algae cultivation. A second possible use for these fast-growing . high tem perature algae is as a pho- osynthetic gas exchanger. In closed places such a s submarines, spaceships and dwellings which, man will build on other planets, algae can maintain a proper balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide for idefinite periods of time as they carry out photosynthesis. In one hour, Dr. Sorokin said, one unit vol ume of high temperature al gae produces 180 volumes of oxygen. However, one unit volume of low-temperature algae evolves only 45 volumes of oxygen in one hour one fourth as much.
