The main goal of the collaboration, said the companies, is to identify, cultivate, develop and scale up new and improved strains identified through non-GMO techniques such as selective breeding or through bioprospecting.
In addition, Cellana and Galil Algae said they will look at the possibility of setting up a new algae research and development center in northern Israel, which would become a focal point for the development and testing of new or optimized strains of high-value algae biomass.
