Algal research, whether for scientific or commercial purposes, requires the detection of algal phenotypes.

There are various parameters to assess the phenotype of algae. As an experienced CRO company, Lifeasible provides comprehensive, professional, and rapid algal phenotyping services to our clients worldwide.

The Importance of Algae

The study of algae is of great value in understanding both ecosystems and commercial directions.

• Algae Research for Ecosystems
  Microalgae are ubiquitous in marine and freshwater ecosystems and play a key role by driving the cycling of many elements and thus regulating water quality. In addition to genetic diversity, phytoplankton taxa exhibit a high degree of inter- and intra-specific phenotypic diversity. Understanding how phytoplankton traits vary across environments within specific taxa or genotypes (phenotypic plasticity) and the constraints on this variation (correlations or trade-offs between trait values) is critical to understanding phytoplankton function, marine ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemical cycling rates.
• Algae Research for Commercial Applications
  In addition to their role in aquatic ecosystems, microalgae are used in a wide range of commercial settings, including nutrient development, drug discovery, biofuels, and wastewater treatment. In these industries, phenotypic methods (phenomics) are often used to screen species or strains for specific uses, such as for biofuels or the production of bioactive compounds that can be used in human medicine. Such methods are less frequently used in exploratory ecological studies.
