Algae Strains

Algae can be unicellular or multicellular, prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Algae include microalgae (single-celled eukaryotes), macroalgae (seaweed), and cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. Strains that do not require light produce new biomass by providing a carbon source, such as sugar, and are known as heterotrophic algae. Some algal strains accumulated large amounts of oil (possibly more than 50% of their ashless cell dry weight) inside their cells. Some algal strains produced significantly more oil than oilseed crops. Many strains also secrete metabolites into the growth medium or accumulate intracellularly.

CD BioSciences has one of the most genetically diverse collections of organisms available to the public and many species of algae. Our strength is our objectivity. CD BioSciences team members fully recognize the tremendous challenges facing the algae industry, and at the same time, we are excited about the tremendous potential algae offer as a biological resource.
