A microalga originally isolated from volcanic springs has all it takes to become the next ‘superfood’ on the market. Compared to Spirulina—a similar organism that’s been popular as a food and feed supplement for half a century—Galdieria is cheaper and easier to grow, and even more nutritious. In a closed-circuit reactor, it can convert organic waste into valuable proteins. Those are the conclusions of the Ph.D. research of Fabian Abiusi of the group Bioprocess Engineering at Wageningen University & Research. He will defend his thesis this Monday, March 29.
