RIYADH: Turning food waste into a valuable industrial product may sound improbable, but scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology are proving it is possible — using algae that h...

Scientists have found a way to transform chocolate factory waste and carbon dioxide into sustainable ingredients.

Ancient algae turn chocolate factory waste and other organic matter into valuable bio-based products, supporting a sustainable circular bioeconomy.

JEDDAH: Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have discovered a new use for an ancient organism, converting chocolate factory waste into C-phycocyanin, a valuable blue pigm...

Contrary to standard fermentation, elevated CO2 triggers efficient organic-carbon consumption in Galdieria during heterotrophy, enabling high-yield biomass and timing C-phycocyanin accumulation. Stable-isotope analysis revealed CO2 as a metabolic trigger, rather than a carbon source, but illumination can enable mixotrophic carbon consumption and increased substrate to biomass ratios.

Four new academic positions have been launched in the School of Biological Sciences aiming to recruit outstanding scientists in areas of significant research importance: Associate Professor /
