Researchers at Vanderbilt University have discovered that blue-green algae that have circadian rhythms that most closely match the light/dark of their environment grow 20%-30% faster than those engineered to have a different circadian cycle. If you combine algae with a 18 hour cycle with algae with a normal 25 hour cycle and expose them to a 24-hour light/dark cycle, the 18-hour cycle algae will not be as abundant or strong as the 25-hour cycle algae.
Vanderbilt University in Nashville owes its inception to the vision of a great university dreamed by the leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the 1850s. Efforts to realize the dream were abandoned during the Civil War and finally resurrected by the General Conference of the church in 1870. Translating the dream to reality required the efforts of two very different men: Methodist bishop Holland N. McTyeire and "Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt, the New York shipping and railroad entrepreneur. The creation of Vanderbilt University reflected Southern Methodism's need for better trained ministers and the South's need for quality higher education in the late nineteenth century.
