Dedicated Strains

Dunaliella salina

 

 

 

 

 

Salinity : Marine
Brief description : 

• motile, unicellular, rod to ovoid shaped (9 – 11��m) green algae
• Simple to cultivate and do not clump or form chains.
• oil yield of about 37% (organic basis). – fast growing strain and that means it has a high CO2 sequestration rate as well.

Commercial value

• contains 8% to 10% beta-carotene by dry weight
• bio-oil

 

 Haematococcus Pluvialis

 

 

 

 

 

Salinity : Fresh water
Brief description : 

• Cells solitary, ovoid to ellipsoidal, with broadly rounded.
• Asexual reproduction by formation of usually 4 ( rarely 2 or 8 ) zoospores

Commercial value

• Astaxanthin content (4%), which is a powerful antioxidant.
• beta-carotene, lutein, and canthaxanthin.,

 

 Nannochloropsis oculata

 

Spirulina platensis

 

 

 

 

 

Salinity : Marine
Brief description : 

• occurs naturally in tropical and subtropical lakes with high pH and high concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate.
• contains an unusually high amount of protein, between 55% and 77% by dry weight, depending upon the source.

Commercial value

• human dietary supplement as well as a whole food
• It is also used as a feed supplement in the aquaculture, aquarium, and poultry industries.

 Tetraselmis chuii

 

 

 

 

 

 

Salinity : Marine
Brief description :
