Phycotransgenics, L.L.C is a biotechnology company that specializes in the development of transgenic algae that have market-driven properties. Markets that we are focusing on include animal health, animal feed, bioremediation, environmental monitoring and biopesticides.
Research and Product Development. Our proficiency in the genetic manipulation and transformation of algae is the progenitor technology from which all of our products emerge. The term algae is applied to a vast array of organisms of approximately 21,000 species that are highly diverse with respect to habitat, size, organization, physiology biochemistry and reproduction (see http://people2.clemson.edu/~sadvs/titlepg.html). Although most familiar as aquatic organisms (seaweed), algae are highly ubiquitous inhabitants of rocks, buildings, tree bark, mosses, woodwork and soil.
We have focused our research and product development on the single celled green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Our expertise with this organism is recognized internationally and unmatched commercially, as is our repertoire of genes and elements for nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial gene expression. Furthermore, most of the genetic elements and transformation methodologies that are the basis of our platform technology are in the public domain. This freedom to operate without being encumbered by dominant patents reduces the commercialization time and increases the profitability of our products.
In addition to our own research program, we aggressively seek collaborations with other scientists. Our prominent research position in the field of Plant Molecular Biology and Aquaculture and direct involvement with academic institutions provides an ideal situation for identifying research projects with strong market potential. Our unique position, which serves as a link between academic institutions and marketing companies, and generous compensation for inventors provides a strong attraction for scientists to develop their ideas through Phycotransgenics.
