Market Insights

Algae consist of a large and diverse group of phototrophic, oxygenic, eukaryotic microorganisms. Algae are eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus. This differentiates them from bacteria and photosynthetic cyanobacteria. Algae also use light as their source of energy for growth and produce oxygen as a byproduct, like plants. However, algae are different from plants as they do not have any tissue. While on the other hand plants can differentiate their tissues into roots, trunks, and leaves, all very different tissue types. Algae, in contrast, are composed of cells which are generally all the same.

Algae are available in different shapes and sizes and contain different valuable substances. Algae are one of the most useful organisms. Algae are responsible for consuming most of the CO2 and releasing the most amount of oxygen that keeps us alive, algae are also being used in diverse industries and applications. One of the most important products that can be made from algae is biofuels and there are a number of companies working towards it.
