Microalgae have the potential to produce an array of compounds in a manner more sustainable than theconventional petrochemical industry. This project aims to explore a novel and innovative method to producealgal biomass and bio-products at lower costs than conventional production systems. Namely we aim toinvestigate the commercial opportunity of using a proprietary membrane photobioreactor (MBR) to producethe high value pigment astaxanthin from a biofilm of the microalgal strain Haematococcus pluvialis.
