On this vast and boundless blue planet, I, microalgae protein, quietly sleep in the rivers of history, looking forward to being discovered.

My existence is a miracle bestowed by the exquisite evolution of nature over billions of years, containing the mysteries of life and the wisdom of nature. I am also a brilliant spark under the collision of technological progress and human passion for wisdom, a concrete manifestation of humanity’s exploration of the unknown and pursuit of a better future.

As the wheels of history slowly move forward to this day, my story is about to open a new chapter. Thanks to the vast stage of protoga Biology, I have found an opportunity to showcase my self-worth. The soul figure of this enterprise – Xiao Yibo (Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, Beijing Science and Technology Rising Star, National Excellent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Postdoctoral Fellow), with his forward-looking vision and unwavering determination, has become the guide that leads me into the new world. Now, this technology is gradually becoming a leader in the global biotechnology field, with the potential to bring revolutionary changes to human health and life sciences.

More importantly, the cross generational collaboration between Xiao Yibo and Professor Wu Qingyu from Tsinghua University has injected strong technological impetus into the development of our microalgal protein family. Through technology transfer, the shining light of wisdom in the laboratory has now bloomed in me, achieving a leap from theory to practice and opening a new chapter in the development of the microalgae protein industry.

The Gift of Nature: Welcome to My Wonderful World

From the clear mountain streams to the vast depths of the ocean, there is my presence. Don’t look at me as young, my role is quite significant. I can not only convert solar energy into life energy through photosynthesis, release oxygen, and support the operation of the Earth’s ecosystem. I can also accumulate rich nutrients, especially protein, in this life cycle. My protein content can reach over 50% of dry weight, far exceeding many traditional crops and animal protein sources.

Just one gram of my existence contains billions of microalgae cells, and compared to soybeans cultivated in vast farmland, I have demonstrated extraordinary efficacy in the form of single-cell life. Every gram of me is born from the carefully cultivated protein core Chlorella cells in a precision fermentation tank, which undergo more than ten generations of rapid division and growth. This process only takes a few days. Compared to the months long cycle of soybean cultivation, my production efficiency has been astonishingly improved by 12 times, even exceeding the time required to obtain milk protein, and the efficiency improvement is also significant.

What’s even more remarkable is that the carbon footprint I leave during my growth process is minimal, and the impact on the environment is much smaller than traditional animal husbandry and farming. In terms of water resource consumption, I have once again demonstrated outstanding advantages, requiring only one tenth of the water required by traditional agriculture. This revolutionary water-saving ability is undoubtedly a valuable gift for the increasingly precious water resources of the Earth.

Cross border Integration: From Laboratory to Daily Health Revolution

With the advancement of technology, humans have begun to delve deeper into the mysteries of our microalgae family. Since then, I have gradually moved from the hidden corners of nature to the spotlight of scientific research.

Through interdisciplinary research such as genomics, biochemistry, and fermentation engineering, a series of mechanisms that enable me to efficiently synthesize proteins have gradually been revealed, and my nutritional composition has also gradually improved through regulation. The intervention of a series of technologies has not only improved my production and quality, but also allowed me to showcase my skills in various scenarios.

Starting from the first ray of sunshine in the morning, I may become a part of that sweet and fragrant protein drink on your breakfast table, quietly injecting vitality and nutrition into your day. In the afternoon, I may transform into a secret guest in yogurt or cheese, perfectly blending with the rich aroma of dairy products, providing you with a more balanced dietary choice for those who pursue a healthy life. Not only that, I can also transform into a highly respected microalgae peptide supplement in the market, providing a secret weapon for people pursuing health to quickly recover and enhance their physical fitness. Even in the world of seasoning, I can have a place to add creativity and surprise to family dining tables with my unique flavor and health benefits. I play a significant role in special nutritional formulas and medical foods, and with a comprehensive and balanced nutritional structure, I have become an invisible hero in safeguarding health in the human world.

My story flows through different scenarios, and each integration is an advocacy for a healthy lifestyle and a commitment to sustainable development. As a microalgae protein, I am proud to be a bridge connecting nature and technology, health and deliciousness, bringing more possibilities to every corner of the world, and writing a new chapter for a green future.

Successful pilot scale: a milestone in technological breakthroughs

In this arduous and glorious journey, I witnessed the magnificent transformation of protoga Biology from scientific research ideals to industrial practice. Our story starts from a corner of the laboratory to the roar of the pilot production line, every step embodies the wisdom and perseverance of Xiao Yibo and the team.

In the laboratory of Tsinghua University, I was given a new meaning of life. Professor Wu Qingyu’s decades of accumulated wisdom have revitalized the fermentation technology of Chlorella that I possess. At that time, I was just a dream in the academic hall, waiting for the moment to turn into a butterfly.

From theory to practice, Xiao Yibo and his team attempted to push me from the greenhouse of the laboratory to the ocean of industrialization, which meant crossing countless technological and practical gaps. The construction of the production line is full of uncertainty and complexity at every step; The results of the laboratory have also undergone subtle but crucial changes during the amplification process. I know they want to ensure that I can leave the laboratory in the purest and most efficient form.

I witnessed with my own eyes the repeated mistakes of the Yuan Yu Biological team day after day in the culture dish. Every failure and restart is actually a fine-tuning that constantly approaches the ideal state. They established intermediate scale production lines as a bridge between the laboratory and large-scale production, striving to find the best balance point in each link. The optimization of every detail, such as fluid flow and material mixing, is a tribute to the spirit of innovation and a meticulous consideration of my future form.

When the production line finally roared with victory and the daily production capacity of 600 kilograms became a reality, all challenges and failures seemed to turn into paving stones to success. I am no longer just the words in scientific research reports, but I am standing at the forefront of food industry innovation. The accumulation of every failure and the refinement of every round of adjustment are firm steps towards a sustainable future in the food industry.

The future has arrived: green hope has bloomed

In the long river of human civilization, every harmonious dance between technology and nature will leave a vivid mark on the scroll of history. The growth of my family is precisely at this moment, which not only signifies the quiet occurrence of a green revolution in food production, but also the profound call of humanity for a better vision of sustainable living. When every gram of microalgae protein is converted into healthy food on the dining table, it not only nourishes the body, but also nourishes people’s desire for a green future.
