Necton's Algae Research and Practices

Mariana from Necton discusses her role in optimizing microalgae production for industrial use. She explains the scaling process from small to large volumes and highlights a project aimed at finding marine sources to treat inflammation diseases. The video covers the adaptation of production processes to meet specific algae needs and emphasizes the sustainable potential of algae, supported by Necton's use of photovoltaics. Mariana concludes by expressing the vast potential of algae for future applications.
