20140051131 | Process for Production of Microalgae, Cyanobacteria and Metabolites Thereof - The present invention relates to processes for the production of microalgae, cyanobacteria and/or metabolites thereof. Described herein is a process involving, the use of a stimulus applied to a microalgal or cyanobacterial culture to enhance the production of one or more metabolites. Also described herein, is a process for the production of microalgae and/or cyanobacteria comprising an adaptation stage wherein an algaltcyanobacterial culture is grown on a process water feedstock and/or under light emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting light within the spectrum of light wavelengths between around 400 nm and 700 nm, and a production phase, wherein the microalgae or cyanobacteria are grown on the same process water feedstock and/or under the same light conditions used in the adaptation stage. The invention also relates to specific microalgal strains. | 02-20-2014 |
