Heterotrophic thraustochytrium biomass enrichment: RoquetteRecent Research Landscape

Standard phototrophic growth limits biomass density and increases operational footprint. Precise control of organic carbon uptake kinetics enables high-density fermentation and predictable metabolic yields.

What technical problems is Roquette addressing in Heterotrophic thraustochytrium biomass enrichment?

Low intracellular lipid concentration

(1)evidences

Insufficient cell density and slow growth rates limit the economic viability of heterotrophic fermentation. Increasing yield per unit volume reduces operational costs and capital expenditure.
