We have discovered a novel gene that significantly accelerates the growth of commercially used microalgae. This novel gene offers the opportunity to grow algae faster without or limited addition of nutrients or increased light and therefore offers potential solutions to companies wishing to develop commercial algal strains, which save on algal growth costs. We have filed patent applications for the use of this novel gene. In order to take this technology to market we need to understand fully the market and develop a commercialisation and technical development plan. We seek funding from the NERC Pathfinder fund to commission market research and to work with our commercial partner to develop a robust commercialisation strategy.

我们发现了一种新基因，可以显着加速商业使用的微藻的生长。这种新颖的基因提供了在不添加或限制添加营养物或增加光照的情况下更快地生长藻类的机会，因此为希望开发商业藻类菌株的公司提供了潜在的解决方案，从而节省了藻类生长成本。我们已经为这种新基因的使用提交了专利申请。为了将这项技术推向市场，我们需要充分了解市场并制定商业化和技术开发计划。我们寻求 NERC 探路者基金的资助来委托进行市场研究，并与我们的商业合作伙伴合作制定稳健的商业化战略。
