Cyanobacteria Biomass ConversionAs a leading bio-environmental enterprise, we take pride in introducing our cutting-edge service: cyanobacteria biomass conversion. This service represents a significant leap forward in the sustainable management of bioresources, harnessing the potential of cyanobacteria for the production of biofuels and other valuable bioproducts. Our cyanobacteria biomass conversion service focuses on the efficient transformation of cyanobacterial biomass into a variety of useful products. Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are photosynthetic microorganisms that can efficiently convert solar energy into chemical energy. They are considered one of the most primitive life forms on Earth and have been successful in sustaining themselves throughout the evolutionary process.

The cyanobacterial species, such as Arthrospira platensis and Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, are selected for their high photosynthetic efficiency and ability to accumulate large amounts of carbohydrates like glycogen under certain growth conditions.These species are particularly attractive due to their capacity to grow in nutrient-depleted environments, making them ideal for large-scale cultivation with minimal input.
The conversion process involves the disruption of cyanobacterial cells to release stored carbohydrates, which are then enzymatically hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars. These sugars are subsequently fermented by yeast, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to produce bioethanol and other bioproducts
Our innovative approach includes the use of recombinant yeast strains capable of expressing amylase enzymes, streamlining the conversion process and improving efficiency.
Our service is characterized by its simplicity, high yield, and rapid conversion rates. We have developed methods to enhance the permeability of cyanobacterial cell walls using treatments like CaCl2 addition, which increases ethanol productivity by facilitating faster glycogen extraction
This innovative step allows for the direct conversion of cyanobacteria to ethanol without the need for physical pretreatment or additional enzymatic hydrolysis.
Our cyanobacterial biomass conversion technology can be classified into two main categories: biofuel production and biofertilizer production. In the biofuel sector, we focus on the production of bioethanol, while in the biofertilizer sector, we harness the nitrogen-fixing capabilities of cyanobacteria to produce eco-friendly fertilizers.
The applications of our service span across various industries. In the energy sector, we contribute to the production of sustainable biofuels. In agriculture, our biofertilizers support sustainable farming practices by reducing the dependency on chemical fertilizers. Additionally, our technology can be applied in the production of high-value compounds such as proteins, pigments, and other extracts.
Our service is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. By utilizing cyanobacteria, we contribute to the reduction of CO2 levels and promote carbon sequestration. Furthermore, our biofuel production process helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, compared to fossil fuels, thus supporting the global effort to combat climate change.
We offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients:
