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

EMA Conference Announcement The Manchester EMA conference is a 1-day event on microalgae-related research and commercialisation. The conference take place at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, Manchester M1 7DN, UK on May 18th, and is part of EnhanceMicroAlgae (www.enhancemicroalgae.eu/enhancemicroalgae-project) an INTERREG EU project, which aims to reinforce the microalgae commercial sector through the improvement of...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
