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

«Latest developments in microalgae science, start-up creation, industrialization and experience sharing to overcome gaps and barriers to innovation markets» On 20 October 2022, the EnhanceMicroalgae partners at the University of La Rochelle (Dr Laurent Picot, UMR CNRS 7266 LIENSs, WP4 leader) organised a workshop dedicated to highlighting the latest developments in microalgae science and start-up...Read More

European Atlantic Area has a long tradition in the exploitation of marine resources for different food and feed applications. EnhanceMicroAlgae project helps to secure a continuation of that tradition with high value-added products and long-term sustainable growth through exploiting of microalgae. Microalgae revolutionize the food and feed ingredient industry because of their productivity and possibilities,...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 UMR 8038 CiTCoM, Faculté de Santé, UFR Pharmacie, Université Paris Cité and IFREMER Nantes gives a...Read More

The workshop will focus on the latest developments in microalgae science, start-up creation, industrialisation, and experience sharing to overcome gaps and barriers to innovation and markets. A full timetable for the day and further information can be found...Read More

EnhanceMicroAlgae partners at Swansea University and King Abdullah University have had their article “Therapeutic Potential of Microalgae-Derived Bioactive Metabolites Is Influenced by Different Large-Scale Culture Strategies” published in Marine Drugs. Microalgae have been identified as one of the most promising sources of novel bioactive compounds for biomedical applications, the food industry, and cosmetics. In the last...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
