Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide**variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and**cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced**in low quantities in plants and extraction methods can be long and expensive. Thus, there is much interest in**metabolic engineering for developing microbial platforms to produce specific PNPs. Microalgae are**well-known systems for plant biology and genetic engineering and are interesting and suitable hosts for the**reconstitution of complex plant pathways. Algae-C wishes to translate metabolic engineering research into**industrial processes. This project aims to optimized microalgae platforms for the production of valuable PNPs.**These ventures are motivated by consumer demand for products that are environmentally friendly, less**expensive, and possess properties similar or superior with those generated by PNPs.

Algae-C是一家专门从事藻类生物质生产的公司。它可以为各种行业（水产养殖，营养品，化妆品和生物燃料）现场生产藻类。迄今为止，许多燃料、药品和化妆品都是从植物中提取的。这些有价值的植物天然产物（PNP）通常在植物中以低数量生产 **，提取方法可能是长期和昂贵的。因此，有很多兴趣在 ** 代谢工程开发微生物平台，以产生特定的PNPs。微藻是植物生物学和基因工程的著名系统，是复杂植物途径重建的有趣和合适的宿主。Algae-C希望将代谢工程研究转化为工业过程。该项目旨在优化微藻平台，以生产有价值的PNPs。这些企业的动机是消费者对产品的需求，这些产品对环境友好，价格较低，并且具有与PNPs产生的产品相似或上级的性能。
