• Algal Fermenation
    At Celignis Bioprocess

Microalgae initially gained attention for their ability to accumulate lipids that can be used for biodiesel production. However, with decades of research to improve the yields and with several failures of algal-biofuel start-ups it became clear that this route was not economically viable at the time. However, microalgae is a store of a variety of bioactive molecules such as pigments, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phycobiliproteins, and vitamins. These bioactives are high value molecules and can be used for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications which makes algae economically attractive. Microalgae can also be used to treat waste water streams under mixotrophic cultivation and have recently gained great attention as bioremediation microbes, because of their potential to reduce potential while producing biomass that can be used to produce various chemicals. Algae are also being researched for gaseous fermentations to produce high value chemicals and also for upgradation of biogas.

How Celignis Can Help

At Celignis we have expertise and experience in screening lactic acid bacteria for the selection of substrate- and product-tolerant strains.. We can also develop: fed-batch strategies to achieve high cell mass, and in situ product recovery techniques to separate lactic acid from the fermentation broth. Our experts will work with you and develop bespoke lactic acid fermentation methods for your feedstock or industrial waste streams.

Bacterial Fermenation

Bacteria are mainly used to produce organic acids and alcohols by anaerobic fermentation and enzymes by aerobic fermentation processes. Very well-known natural fermenters are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for lactic acid production and Bacillus species such as B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. licheniformis, B. megaterium etc. for the production of enzymes, antibiotics, surfactins, and biopolymers.

Yeast and Fungal Fermenation

Yeast fermentation is one of the oldest fermentations and is used in everyday life to produce a variety of commodity products including bread, beer, wine, cheese, and soy sauce. A few decades ago, yeast gained popularity as an industrial strain for biorefinery and biofuel applications.

At Celignis, we can use yeast and fungi for the production of: bioethanol, glycerol, single cell oils (SCOs), and emulsifiers, among other products.
