Our adventurous bioreactor consists of the integration of all the parameters for algae growth and harvesting into a single control unit. Alginity will present a system that provides food while producing oxygen for astronauts.
The extreme demands of space will provide a great starting point for a new kind of bioreactor that can be used (following optimisation) for the pigment market, where the demand for high-value elements is currently undersupplied.
