More information

The goal of the project is to investigate and define the optimal process conditions for the growth of the microalgae P. wilhelmii in order to increase the yield of lipids for use in industries and to demonstrate the technical feasibility of cultivation. The project solves the problem of insufficient research of the microalgae P. wilhelmii, the absence of a physiological and mathematical model of cultivation, and the absence of defined parameters of the process conditions of growth. The target group is companies that need to use microalgae biomass for application in various industries such as biofuel production, food industry or pharmaceutical industry, and the end user is the scientific community.
