The interest in microalgae as food in Europe is growing due to its remarkable features that can foster a sustainable economy. The lack of tradition on their use among Europeans is changing and a demand for more sustainable products is increasing. The legal framework from the microalgae stakeholders’ point of view has been consistently identified...Read More
The 4th edition of this catalogue contains information on the cultivation and composition characteristics of 50 microalgae. Each entry includes relevant links to Atlantic Area stakeholders known to have a relevant connection with each of the species listed, be it in the form of culture collections, research expertise, technology developers, or biomass producers. We invite the...Read More

EnhanceMicroaAlgae partners at University of Manchester have developed a new multi-scale model based on population-balance equations to describe the autotrophic cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis, which can produce significant amounts of industrially important compounds. The model uses cell volume as the internal coordinate, and can describe cell growth, and lysis, making possible the description of the...Read More
EnhanceMicroaAlgae partners at University of Manchester have developed a new optimised mixotrophic cultivation strategy for multi-product production that epitomises the microalgal biorefinery paradigm. The bioprocess yields enhanced biomass growth as well as significantly increased lipid and starch production. In addition, they have developed a new model of the process which can be used to optimally...Read More
EnhanceMicroaAlgae partners at the University of Manchester have developed a new mixotrophic cultivation strategy that produces enhanced biomass growth as well as significantly increased lipid and starch production based on a pulse feeding strategy. In addition, they have developed a new model of the process which they have used to optimise the feeding strategy to...Read More
EnhanceMicroAlgae partners at La Rochelle University (La Rochelle University/CNRS UMR 7266 LIENSs) are developing innovative processes to extract and purify microalgae pigments and develop original applications of microalgae pigments for human health. Their latest work, published in collaboration with IFREMER Nantes and the Génie des Procédés Environnement (GEPEA) lab at Nantes University, gives a comprehensive...Read More
Our partners from CNRS and researchers from Ifremer, France, have developed a solution which, activated by light, allows to eliminate bacteria responsible for acne. Follow the link to find out more about this anti-acne cream based on an extract from the diatom Skeletonema marinoi (page in French): https://www.francetvinfo.fr/replay-radio/le-billet-vert/sante-des-chercheurs-inventent-une-creme-anti-acne-a-base-de-microalgues_4867361.html The EnhanceMicroAlgae teamRead More
