ICM-CSIC Researchers Develop More Efficient Production Systems

For the first time, a study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar of the Spanish National Research Council (ICM-CSIC) has shown how microbial diversity associated with microalgae affects their health and productivity in large-scale production reactors.

This insight opens the door to more efficient and sustainable industrial systems, particularly in areas such as wastewater treatment and the production of green biomass, which can derive high value products. These include lipids for biofuel production, as well as antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral compounds for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
