Two Phase Consortium for Production of Metabolites from a Cyanobacteria/Bacteria Mixed Consortium
Executive SummaryBiobased plastics and chemicals offer an alternative solution to products traditionally made from fossil fuel sources. Bioindustries utilize heterotrophic organisms to convert carbohydrate-rich feedstocks like sugarcane, sugar beets, and corn into value-added compounds (e.g. nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals, etc.). Because these...

Reducing Cultivation and Harvesting Costs for Cyanobacteria
Executive SummaryOur technology enables physical plant managers to control cyanobacterial flocculation, which significantly reduces recovery and dewatering requirements. These requirements alone account for up to 40% of operating costs in production of biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals from cyanobacteria. This technology works by inducing cyanobacterial...
