Laboratories algae cultivation
Field of activity:
Microalgae are cultivated on a laboratory scale in the cultivation laboratories. By varying macro- and micronutrients, light conditions, temperature, aeration, etc., optimal cultivation conditions are determined with regard to biomass and product formation in order to subsequently produce biomass for further investigations or for application development. Research is also carried out on metabolic physiology and the functioning of biocenoses in industrial algae production.
