Algae Isolation and Culture Services
Specialized techniques allow efficient cultivation of algae for use as model organisms for scientific research and the production of compounds and proteins.
Lifeasible is able to provide quality laboratory-scale and large-scale algae culture services to our customers worldwide.
Overview of Algae
Microalgae consist of a biodiverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are found in water sources and sediments. The large number of high-value chemicals extracted from prokaryotic and eukaryotic microalgae includes compounds used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, such as beta-carotene, astaxanthin, and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also, researchers have studied advancing the use of microalgae to develop biofuel production and ecological restoration.
Essential Elements in Algae Culture
Asexual reproduction allows for effective population increase but less possible variation, while sexual reproduction allows for more mutations and provides the benefit of efficient recombination repair of DNA damage during meiosis, a critical stage of the sexual cycle. Nevertheless, sexual reproduction is more costly than asexual reproduction. Meiosis has been proven to take place in many different species of algae.
Although algae are extremely adaptable and do not need to create a special environment for their natural growth, it is necessary to effectively control elements of the environment such as nitrogen and phosphorus ratios, temperature, culture solution concentration, and pH value in order to be able to meet specific goals, such as increasing the protein and pigment content of microalgae.
Extensive experimental research work has shown that different culture conditions, such as light intensity, nitrogen, and phosphorus, have different effects on algal culture. Different species of algae require different light intensities. In addition, for different environments, the reproduction rate of the algae themselves also varies greatly. Different culture methods and instruments have been designed according to the sensitivity of algae to environmental factors.
Our Services
As a globally recognized CRO company, Lifeasible offers algae isolation service and algae culture services according to your demand.
Algae Culture Condition Optimization Service
During the cultivation of algae, specialized instruments are used to monitor the algae culture medium and culture environment, including parameters such as light, pH, and temperature. These parameters can be dynamically adjusted to ensure the healthy growth of the algae strain.
Laboratory-Scale Algae Culture Service
The growth of algae possesses five characteristic stages, including a lag phase, an exponential phase, a declining growth phase, a stationary phase, and a death phase. The five growth stages of algae are constantly monitored and growth mathematical models are applied by professional scientists during the cultivation process to provide the best quality algae cultivation services.
Large-Scale Algae Culture Service
With many years of experience in algae cultivation, our company offers large-scale algae cultivation services for customers in industry and commerce. We will design the algae culture plan and culture equipment according to your needs and optimize the culture process to achieve the best economic efficiency.
