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.

藻类C是一家专门从事藻类生物质生产的公司。它可以在现场生产广泛的藻类 各种部门(水产养殖、营养食品、化妆品和生物燃料)。到目前为止，许多燃料、药品和 化妆品是从植物中提取的。这些有价值的植物天然产物(PNPs)经常被生产出来 在植物和提取方法中用量较低，可能会耗时长且昂贵。因此，人们对……很感兴趣 开发微生物平台以生产特定PNPs的代谢工程。微藻是 著名的植物生物学和基因工程系统，是有趣和适合主办 重建复杂的植物途径。藻类C希望将代谢工程研究转化为 工业流程。该项目旨在优化微藻平台，以生产有价值的PNPs。 这些合资企业的动机是消费者对环境友好型产品的需求 价格昂贵，并且具有与PNPs产生的特性相似或更好的特性。
