Algae (as opposed to other plants) are a natural choice for maximum-yield biofuels because they:
- intrinsically offer the greatest flux tolerance and photosynthetic efficiency as a consequence of a minimum of internally competitive plant functions,
- enjoy fast reproductive cycles,
- have limited nutrient requirements, and
- can readily be exposed to temporal and spectral irradiation distributions and intensities that are not encountered in nature but are optimal for bioproductivity via cleverly crafted photonic systems.
Diatoms, a group of silicon-rich microalgae, and prokaryotic cyanobacteria also offer substantial opportunities for metabolic engineering and biotechnology.
