Many unicellular algae produce large quantities of oils as food storage         compounds and can be grown autotrophically in culture, requiring only           light, carbon dioxide, water and a few minerals.  This research                 addresses the growth of algal species autotrophically in the presence           of 99.7% deuterium oxide (D20), thereby replacing all the cellular              hydrogen with deuterium and biologically producing perdeuterated                hydrocarbons.  The objectives of this research are:  define optimal             culture conditions and select strains of oil-producing algae which              exhibit exceptional growth in 99.7% D20; identify procedures for                efficient harvest of the cultures, extraction of the perdeuterated              oils, and recycling of the D20; characterize the lipid components               produced by the oil-producing algae during culture in D20; and design a         test bed for comparison of the lubrication capabilities of the oil              extracted from the algae.  The potential cost reduction of the                  deuterated lubricants when produced biologically will undoubtedly               increase the scope of the use of these high performance compounds.
