Incorporation in a consortium as partner. The Marine Microalgae Research Group has led projects directly related with the topic. We have found several microalgae strains with very interesting activities against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. We have just started to check the possibility of using enriched extracts on coatings for fruits and vegetables. So these activities fall into the Topic 2.3.1 (RIA) – Assessing novel antimicrobial food packaging and coating materials to reduce food waste to improve safety in the Mediterranean food supply chain. We have capacity of: 1. screening microalgal strains 2. culturing them at laboratory and pilot plant scale (TRL-6) 3. fractionating the biomass to obtain proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and pigments 4. generating paper coatings or supplying active extracts for generating other type of coatings 5. designing and constructing photobioreactors of different sizes with the possibility of using antifouling surfaces.
