Turkish company Marin Biotechnology (MarinBio), known for its microalgae and probiotic production, announced that it will take part in a European Union project with a budget of 5 million 95 thousand euros, together with Mugla Sitki Kocman University. Within the scope of the “Climate smart, ecosystem-enhancing and knowledge-based rural expertise training centers (RURALITIES)” project, regional development-oriented trainings will be provided in the fields of agriculture, livestock and aquaculture. Studies will continue for 60 months for the project with the code HORIZON-CL6-2021-COMMUNITIES-01, which has 54 partners. Istituto Di Istruzione Superiore A. Cecchi from Italy will be the coordinator of the project.
BIOSURFECTANT MICROORGANISMS
Making significant contributions to sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry thanks to the products it has developed with biotechnological methods, MarinBio continues to shed light on the future with its new investments and projects it has put into practice. Within the scope of the TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) project, the company also works on the development of biosurfactant microorganisms, which are known for their effectiveness in waste recycling, environmental pollution control, food and public health.
NEW FACILITY INVESTMENT AND ALGAE OIL PRODUCTION
MarinBio, which is the leader in Turkey with a monthly production of 10 tons of microalgae, is also preparing to establish a new facility. The company, which plans to produce algae oil in its new facility, aims to operate not only in agriculture and animal husbandry, but also in different fields such as human nutrition and cosmetics.
Görkem Koyun, the founder of Marin Biotechnology, says, “I think that the AlgomeTM product, which has a high lubrication feature, will attract attention by individuals on a Vegan-Vegetarian diet due to its rich Omega-3 & DHA profile in its oil content”.
Expressing that algae, which can be used in about 15 different industries, will have a different importance in the future thanks to its sustainable production model and high quality nutritional content, Koyun emphasizes that microalgae should be supported to the end and its production increased.
“We produce with completely biotechnological methods and there is no waste material as a result of production. We carry out an environmentally friendly and efficient production,” Koyun adds.
