| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research is "to build an algal oil production system with positive economical balance". We proposed to reduce the production cost by cultivating the microalgae Dunaliella as agriculture using the nitrogen and phosphorous present in abundance in deep ocean water as fertilizer. Also, as a by-product other than fats and oils, we focused on the extraction of glutathione, which is a high value-added product, and evaluated the possibility of increasing profit as well as reducing costs. In addition, the desert coast of Peru was selected as the first candidate for a place to cultivate microalgae as agriculture and use deep ocean water as fertilizer. Field survey was also successfully conducted.
