We provide state of the art services conducted by experts in algae feedstock.
Provision of strains of various species of microalgae
for research and diverse industrial applications.
We offer private and confidential deposit of your algal strains. The strains will not be integrated into IBAB portfolio. That can be maintained on tailored conditions.
We conduct the bioprospection and isolation of new strains
for new products or other applications. Also, we perform
the re-isolation of contaminated strains for heathy culture production.
We provide taxonomic identification of algal strains or qualitative and quantitative analysis of natural samples using light microscopy. We also offer molecular identification of strains using Sanger sequencing of usual marker genes such as 18S and 28S rRNA for eukaryotic algae and 16S for cyanobacteria, as well as contamination identification.
Generation of new strains by adaptive laboratory evolution approach or random mutagenesis for targeted compound production.
Generation of new strains by adaptive laboratory evolution approach or random mutagenesis for targeted compound production.
We offer several services including consulting and training on algae maintenance (e.g. identifying contaminants, culture maintenance), cultivation (e.g. strain selection, growth optimization, productivity maximization), strain improvement,(e.g. tailored strategies to enhance desirable traits such as growth rate, biomass composition, and stress resistance), strain selection (e.g. test best fit strain for the intended fisiochemical environment of production), innovation towards specific applications (e.g. development of new products and services tailored for the costumer).
Please consult the services of all platforms (e.g. Biorefinery, Contaminants, Molecular Biology, Analytical, Food, Animal Nutrition) here. For additional specific research or consultancy services please contacts.
