Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Production

Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a type of diatom. It is the only species in the genus Phaeodactylum. Unlike other diatoms, Phaeodactylum tricornutum can exist in different morphologies (fusiform, triradial, and elliptical), and changes in cell shape can be stimulated by environmental conditions. Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a naturally rich source of fucoxanthin, an orange-brown carotenoid that plays a role in energy transfer and helps protect microalgae from oxidative stress. In recent years, research institutions from around the world have identified fucoxanthin as a major contributor to dietary health benefits. CD BioSciences focused on Phaeodactylum tricornutum because it dominates and outperforms other microalgal species, tolerates high pH, and can grow in low light. Phaeodactylum tricornutum also has unique biological properties. In addition, Phaeodactylum tricornutum can be gene-targeted mutagenesis via CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing as a basis for the production of unnatural components, including polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs) for bioplastics, monoclonal antibodies, and plant triterpenes.

Our Services

As a full-service CRO company, our work covers everything from product evaluation, production process design, microalgal production, microalgal identification, biological characterization, and scale-up generation to market evaluation. We provide integrated microalgae production services across many different regions. Our services are listed as follows, but are not limited to:

• Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Cultivation
  Our scientists apply photobioreactors (PBRs) (tubular, cylindrical, slab and proprietary types) and open ponds in both indoor and outdoor environments to grow Phaeodactylum tricornutum.
• Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Production
  The scaled-up production of our Phaeodactylum tricornutum was carried out by culturing the microalgae in a 90 L bubble column photobioreactor.
• Developing and Optimizing the Production Process
  Production optimization uses models, analysis, prioritization and measurement to improve productivity.
• Genome Editing of Phaeodactylum Tricornutum
  Our scientists apply the CRISPR/Cas9 system to create gene-targeted mutations of Phaeodactylum tricornutum.
• Biomass Characterization of Phaeodactylum Tricornutum
  Our scientists measure cell growth using a spectrophotometer, calculate specific growth rate and perform elemental analysis.
