Microalgae Culture

Marine microalgae are tiny single-celled plants floating in seawater, generally living freely, belonging to the middle and upper layers, with a size of 2-20 μm. The important constituents of microalgae are diatoms, dinoflagellates, green algae, blue-green algae, and coccoidophytes. Most microalgae are of great value and are rich sources of essential fatty acids, pigments, amino acids, and vitamins. These microorganisms play a key role in coastal and marine aquaculture of fish, mollusks, shrimp, and oysters. This phytoplankton plays a vital role in aquaculture to meet the nutritional needs of larvae as well as biological encapsulation. Maintaining and supplying the required species at the right time is a major problem for algae farmers. Phytoplankton culture procedures involve aspects such as isolating the desired species, preparing suitable media, and maintaining laboratory-scale cultures, and large-scale cultures under constant controlled conditions of light, temperature, and aeration. Supply at different growth stages. In the early stage of many algal applications and research work, CD BioSciences provides microalgae culture services for customers due to the lack of relevant technical personnel, medium formulations, and cultivation equipment.
