The name '''spirulina''' describes the genus of edible aquatic '''cyanobacteria''' performing photosynthesis. The chlorophyll is responsible for the green color which is why spirulina used to be called green-blue algae. However, it is now widely known that they are bacteria, not algae. Today, scientist know of 35 different species belonging to the genus '''spirulina. | The name '''spirulina''' describes the genus of edible aquatic '''cyanobacteria''' performing photosynthesis.

My '''“board game”''' is supposed to be a competition between living spirulina, an interaction of spirulina with different environments. I will be focusing on the growth of spirulina and which type of water favors it. | My '''“board game”''' is supposed to be a competition between living spirulina, an interaction of spirulina with different environments.

Therefore, I took a tube of spirulina (the exact species is unknown to me) bacteria in a liquid, divided the content into four parts and inserted each part into a tube with minerals and different types of water. The four samples respectively consisted of: | Therefore, I took a tube of spirulina (the exact species is unknown to me) bacteria in a liquid, divided the content into four parts and inserted each part into a tube with minerals and different types of water.
