Solutions to improve growth, induce high value metabolites and detect contaminants to produce novel algal products
Description The main objectives of the ALGAESOLUTIONS project are a) to provide innovative solutions to common problems of algal producers by increasing the productivity, quality and market value of the biomass produced and b) develop five products with high commercial value: i) AllPhaeo+, a microalgal product enriched in fucoxanthin and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and […]
Establishing high performance algae industrial cultures for the production of biostimulants and functional feeds
Description PERFROMALGAE will mainly focus on the functionality of the developed microalgae-based products. It will use non-GMO high-throughput screening techniques, such as random mutagenesis and flow cytometry, to produce microalgae strains with improved metabolite profiles (biostimulants, PUFAs, and pigments). Besides, the project will also focus on increasing compound bioavailability through the optimization of cellular disruption and hydrolysis processes. Targets: […]
