Bacterial alginates are useful for the production of micro- or nanostructures suitable for medical applications. [8] Sodium alginate (NaC 6 H 7 O 6) is the sodium salt of alginic acid. Sodium alginate is a gum. Potassium alginate (KC 6 H 7 O 6) is the potassium salt of alginic acid. Calcium alginate (CaC 12 H 14 O 12) is the calcium salt of ...
“The algae is eating CO2, or turning the CO2 into biomass,” explains Mr Haflidason. “It's carbon negative.” Vaxa's plant uses electricity from an adjacent geothermal power plant [Vaxa]
TerraVia Holdings, Inc. (formerly Solazyme) was a publicly held biotechnology company in the United States. TerraVia used proprietary technology to transform a range of low-cost plant-based sugars into high-value oils and whole algae ingredients.
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
Sodium alginate (NaAlg) Alginates are the natural product of brown algae and have been used extensively in wound dressing, drug delivery and tissue engineering, as well as food applications. [9] [10] [11] Sodium alginate is an unbranched copolymer of 1,4-linked-β-d-mannuronate (M) and α-l-guluronate (G) sugars.
Iran started investigating the production of algae from 2000. Scientific evidence shows that south Iran is the richest area in the world for cultivating algae, because of high humidity, sunny weather, large unused area and salty water. [2] The first version of algae based biofuel will become available for industrial purposes in 2015. [3]
Algenol was founded in 2006 by Paul Woods, Craig Smith, and Ed Legere. [2] In 2008 the company announced it would begin commercial production of ethanol by 2009 in the Sonoran Desert in northwest Mexico. [3]
Algae has received a ton of media attention lately because of its potent nutritional profile and a natural ability to absorb carbon emissions and other harmful gases from the atmosphere. It’s ...
