From consulting with major commercial nutritional microalgae cultivators to hands-on spirulina farming, MicroBio Engineering, Inc. brings both vision and experience to the industry.
NUtritional Algae Consulting
Microalgae play an important role in human nutrition, offering a natural source of protein, antioxidants, and essential nutrients like omega-3s. Spirulina, one of the most widely cultivated microalgae, has long been farmed for its health benefits, providing a sustainable option for dietary supplements and functional foods. Spirulina is just scratching the surface—chlorella sp., tribonema sp., porphyridium sp., diatoms, and many other types of algae have been successfully cultivated for nutritional purposes. MicroBio Engineering has helped shape algae production by providing specialized engineering and consulting services to nutraceutical companies. With years of experience in algae cultivation, our team offers expertise in optimizing farming techniques to support high-quality, scalable production.
Biofertilizer Algae Consulting
Algae is not only viable as a food source, but also as a tool to increase food production. MicroBio Engineering has partnered with others in the industry to transform the way we approach soil fertility with microalgae-based biofertilizers and soil amendments. These biofertilizers outperform conventional options by delivering slow-release nutrients that steadily nourish crops, significantly reducing the risk of nutrient loss through runoff or groundwater infiltration. Moreover, certain microalgae species can naturally fix atmospheric nitrogen—a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative that enhances bioavailable soil nitrogen. Experience improved soil structure, elevated moisture retention, and a robust pathway to sustainable food production by securing MicroBio Engineering as a consultant for your fertilizer needs.
Solutions
Alternative proteins are emerging as a critical solution to challenges posed by conventional meat production, yet many current options fall short in taste, texture, and cost-effectiveness. Crimson Farms™ uses the red alga Porphyridium cruentum as a uniquely scalable and sustainable protein source to address these concerns. Cultivated using non-arable land, saline water, and waste CO₂, it produces a red protein with superior taste and texture while minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, its high-value co-products, such as natural red pigment and polysaccharides for cosmetics, enable near-term profitability and support a gradual scale-up toward bulk protein markets.
