Algae Engineering Services

Microalgae can be used in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and other industrially important bioactive substances due to their complex metabolic capabilities. The improvement of microalgae strains through genetic engineering is of scientific importance and commercial value.

As a pioneer in algae modification, Lifeasible is committed to algae-related research and is focused on developing more algae engineering techniques to support our quality algae engineering services.

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Algae

Algae are prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, of which prokaryotic algae, also termed cyanobacteria, lack membrane-bound organelles, including plastids, mitochondria, nuclei, Golgi apparatus, and ﬂagella, while the rest are eukaryotic and have organelles.

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic algae can be utilized as cell factories to undertake the production of substances that we need. Hence, Lifeasible provides both prokaryotic and eukaryotic algae engineering services to support the projects of clients.

Types of Engineering Tools

Engineering is an essential step in algae research and applications. However, there are still many difficulties in the genetic engineering of algae. A key problem in the genetic improvement of microalgal systems is the low frequency and lack of homologous recombination in the genome.
