AlgaeCytes is a biotechnology company specializing in the cultivation of algae to produce health and wellness ingredients. The company utilizes an advanced photobioreactor system for algae cultivation, featuring enclosed glass tubing and LED lighting to stimulate photosynthesis. AlgaeCytes' patented process optimizes the photosynthetic process, allowing microalgae to flourish and produce valuable compounds. The system regulates light, nutrient supply, and temperature, enabling efficient and consistent production year-round, regardless of external weather conditions.
The company's primary focus is on producing omega-3 oils from microalgae as an alternative to fish-derived sources. This approach offers several advantages, including suitability for vegetarian diets, reduced pressure on fish stocks, and the ability to avoid potential contamination with trace heavy metals sometimes found in fish oil supplements. AlgaeCytes' method allows for the production of high-quality omega-3 oils with variable EPA:DHA ratios, catering to different formulation requirements.
In February 2018, AlgaeCytes joined the ProFlow consortium, which secured an Innovate UK grant of nearly GBP 630,000 for a two-year development program. The consortium aims to scale up a novel acoustic cell harvesting technology developed by LabXero, which could significantly reduce the costs associated with separating algal biomass from its culture medium. This technology uses resonant sound waves to create an acoustic barrier, separating water from microalgae without the need for energy-intensive centrifugation techniques. The development of this technology could potentially lower downstream processing costs, which constitute a substantial portion of total processing expenses in algae-based omega-3 production.

In April 2024, Seed Health introduced CODA, a computational biology platform powered by the Human Phenotype Project, which integrates over three million phenotypic data points from more than 13,000 individuals. This platform aims to develop next-generation precision probiotics and microbiome-directed interventions for areas including metabolic health, brain health, menopause, and longevity.
The company's research extends beyond human health to environmental applications through its SeedLabs division. This includes developing probiotics for honeybees to enhance their resilience against climate change-related stressors, as well as exploring microbial solutions for plastic degradation and soil health. Seed Health collaborates with leading scientists and research institutions to advance its work across various health domains, including vaginal health, skin health, oral hygiene, pediatrics, mental health, and nutrition.
Key customers and partnerships
The company has established partnerships with several academic and research institutions to further its scientific endeavors.
