The Wonders of Algae
Average rating
5 out of 5
Based on 1 Ratings and 1 Reviews

Book Description
When you see the green slime on the glass sides of your fish tank, you'd never think that what you're looking at may some day keep men alive in outer space.

The oxygen the interplanetary travelers will breathe will be given to them by the tiny plants that make up the green slime in your fish tank, the scum on the top of stagnant ponds and the film that you find on the barks of trees.
