About THE Blue GeneS PROJECT
We are developing a way to grow Galdieria suphuraria, an extremophilic unicellular species of red algae, under heterotrophic conditions. It is the type species of the genus Galdieria. It is known for its broad metabolic capacities, including photosynthesis and heterotrophic growth. Phycocyanin is a pigment-protein complex that biological functions cooperatively with chlorophyll in photosynthesis. This protein promises to contribute to a variety of interesting and useful products.
