MELBOURNE, Fla.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--PetroAlgae Inc. (OTCBB: PALG), a leading developer of systems to derive biodiesel fuels from algae, today announced that it has begun trading under its new stock symbol "PALG" on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, effective immediately.

"The choice of PALG replaces our earlier ticker symbol, which was not reflective of our corporate name and business strategy. This change, which will be immediately followed by a comprehensive investor relations campaign, is designed to raise our profile among investors and potential customers by providing them with a clearer idea of our distinctive place in the market," said Dr. John Scott, Chairman of PetroAlgae. "Our recent listing as a public company will help remind investors of our leading position in the effort to replace petroleum with biofuels produced domestically from algae in a carbon-neutral process," concluded Dr. Scott.

PetroAlgae became a publicly-traded company on the OTC Bulletin Board in December 2008 when it acquired Dover Glen Inc., which traded under the stock symbol "DVGL," until today's ticker change.
