I can only agree... #microalgae is the new black in #cultivatedmeat industry. There are so many microalgae strains that even thinking about this microorganism's potential in biotechnology gives you unlimited answers. More over, this is something that we know at Mewery very well. That's why we obtain multiple strains for different benefits to saturate our unique microalgae-based platform. This gives us the advantage: 1️⃣ replacing animal origin components in growth media; 2️⃣ using microalgae as a live and edible microcarrier to help our porcine cells better proliferate; 3️⃣ and last but not least saturating growth medium with recombinant proteins of our own production. We have learned that not only microalgae support animal cells, but also microalgae can be fed with leftovers from animal cell culturing. And after that, we can return some nutrients from microalgae back to the growth media to feed our porcine cells again 🔁. I can not imagine a more sustainable process than ours, and all thanks to microalgae, unicellular organisms already used in food, pharma, agriculture and energetics and will for sure find a spot in more and more industries. Stay tuned, Mewery is making this happen.
Will microalgae play a critical role in the future of #cultivatedmeat? Original research from teams in Japan has shown different strains can be used to supply glucose, amino acids, and other nutrients to cell cultures. Furthermore, circular systems have been demonstrated, where spent culture media can feed the microalgae, which are then used as the feedstock for the animal cells. I'm aware of multiple research labs and companies across Asia, Europe, and the United States now pursuing similar concepts. Some companies such as Mewery are even co-cultivating the microalgae with animal cells, where the algae simultaneously consume ammonia, provide oxygen, express recombinant growth factors, and become part of the final product. This strategy could provide a less energy- and land-intensive solution for media at scale. Future studies can compare the cost and environmental impacts of cultivated meat production integrated with microalgae compared to more conventional means of media input production. It will be interesting to watch the traction of this approach over time. (Note the article is a paid advertisement, but the content is a worthwhile read) https://lnkd.in/eK3dvz_Y
