Developing Value Added Products from Rockweek Byproduct

拟议的项目涉及利用各种工业生物技术过程从棕色海藻结节海藻中开发增值生物活性化合物。计划开展的活动将导致开发新的工艺，允许将海藻全部用于开发增值产品，特别是植物生长促进剂和土壤改良剂，以及将二氧化碳作为陆上藻类生产系统的投入。由于将从一种新的生物质原料(海藻)开发新的工业生物技术工艺，因此该项目产生技术影响的可能性很高。通过开发新产品、扩大市场、提高盈利能力、创造就业机会和提高生产生产率，阿卡迪亚海洋工厂有可能获得显著的经济效益。海藻副产品的使用将减少废物，因此对环境的潜在影响很高。

The proposed project relates to the development of value-added bioactive compounds from the brown seaweed A. nodosum using various industrial biotechnology processes. The activities planned will lead to the development of novel processes that allow for the use of the seaweed in its totality for the development of value added products, specifically plant growth stimulators and soil amendments, as well as CO2 as an input for a land-based algal production system. The potential for technological impacts from this project are high as new industrial biotechnology processes will be developed from a novel biomass feedstock (seaweed). Potential for significant economic benefits to Acadian Seaplants with the development of new products, expansion of markets, increased profitability, job creation and increased production productivity. The potential for environmental impact is high as use of the seaweed by-product will reduce waste.
