Hi everyone!

I'm collecting algae strains to make biodiesel at home. I'm going to search the local lagoons/ reservoirs/ lakes... for algae, but I'm not really sure how to identify them. I may mistake water plants for them. Could anybody give me some tips on how to identify them easily?

Thanks a lot!
