Grow More - Glow More - Know More - Grow your own bioluminescent plankton! The Bio-Orb contains seawater and tiny plankton or single-cell algae called dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates are a part of the plankton community and thus are the basis for the Ocean Food Chain. All ocean fish and mammals (including whales & dolphins) rely on plankton directly or indirectly for their food source and energy. Dinos play a role in this food chain by converting light energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis). Unfortunately, this puts them squarely at the bottom of the food chain. Save some Dinos by keeping them as pets. Photosynthesis: Our Dinos, or ‘PyroDinos’ as we call them, use light as their main energy source. Dinos use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water. Dinos generate oxygen (O2) as a byproduct. Thus these little Dinos, as a part of the larger plankton community, provide oxygen for us to breathe and help combat global warming by ‘fixing’ carbon (CO2) by removi
