FermPro Manufacturing LP

Description

Martek Biosciences Corporation is an innovator in the research and development of products derived from microalgae. Martek has developed and patented two fermentable strains of microalgae which produce oils rich in docosahexaenoic acid, DHA. In like manner, another patented process was developed for a fungus that produces an oil rich in arachidonic acid, ARA. Both DHA and ARA are found in breast milk and are important nutrients in infant development. Thus the two oils are used in infant formulas, while the DHA-rich oil can also be used in supplements and functional foods for older children and adults. Martek also makes and sells a series of proprietary and nonproprietary fluorescent markers. These products have applications in drug discovery (high-throughput screening), DNA microarray detection and flow cytometry.
