NOVELTY - Composition (C1) comprises an introduced culture of microorganisms, a brine water composition and at least one supplement.    USE - For growing introduced photo synthetic organisms in culture; in lipid production (claimed); for growth and/or production of byproducts from algal cultures; and for production of biofuels e.g. biodiesel, alkanes or other products.    ADVANTAGE - The composition increases algae growth to high density levels or reduces production costs in time and money for increasing biomass and lipid production and harvesting or making algal byproducts; and reduces the length of lag-phase for growing photo synthetic microorganisms.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a composition (C2) comprising a brewery wastewater composition, an introduced culture of photo synthetic microorganisms and at least one supplement;    (2) growing (M1) introduced photo synthetic organisms in culture involving obtaining a water composition selected from brine water composition and/or brewery wastewater and growing the introduced photo synthetic organisms in the water composition;    (3) a system (S1) comprising providing a brine water composition to a culture of microorganisms where the system delivers the brine water to the culture;    (4) reducing (M2) length of lag-phase for growing photo synthetic microorganisms involving introducing an inoculum of a photosynthetic organism to a media where the inoculum and the media comprises a density of 1-5 gram wet pellet of photosynthetic organism per liter of media; and harvesting the algal culture in either log or stationary phase of the culture after introduction of the inoculum;    (5) a kit for generating rapid production of algae biomass comprising a wet pellet of at least one algae microorganism for making initial culture density of 1-5 gram wet pellet of photosynthetic organism per liter of media; lyophilized modified f/2 media composition; at least one container; and optionally, at least one predetermined supplement for growth in brine water or brewery wastewater;    (6) a composition (C3) for affecting lipid production in algal cultures comprising a modified f/2 media having no calcium compound and optionally, a calcium precipitant, the modified f/2 media affects lipid production compared to control media; and    (7) affecting (M3) lipid production in algal cultures involving growing an algal culture in a modified f/2 media having no calcium; and harvesting lipids from the algal cultures, the modified f/2 media affects lipid production compared to control media.
