The Spanish Bank of Algae, hereinafter BEA, is a national R&D&I organization of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC),linked to its Scientific and Technology Park (FPCT), whose basic objectives are isolation, identification, characterization, conservation and supply of microalgae and cyanobacteria.
Besides these features, the BEA is intended as a service to facilitate the development of a new sector based on bioindustrial cultivation and application of microalgae and cyanobacteria.
Objectives:
- Offer to companies and R&D institutions a vast biodiversity of microalgae and cyanobacteria
- Establish the bases for the development of a new ecosystem-based agro-industrial production of microalgae biomass and bioactive
Mission:
- Isolation, identification, characterization, conservation and supply (to companies and institutions) of microalgae and cyanobacteria.
- Conservation of microalgae for business purposes and for bio-industrial patents.
- Training, dissemination and assesment in microalgae biotechnology
