Iodine reacts with starch, producing a deep purple color. As starch is catabolized and converted to sugars, there will be less and less starch to react with the iodine.

It delves into various learning goals such as differentiating algal feedstocks from conventional sources, examining metabolic pathways, analyzing enzymes for algal carbohydrate breakdown, and investigating fermentation processes. It also assesses pretreatment techniques, net energy balance, genetic engineering approaches, and environmental implications.
