Galdieria is a red alga which inhabits hot sulphur springs such as Kusatsu Onsen and has existed on the earth by a billion years ago. It survives in harsh environments such as high temperatures, high acidity, high concentrations of CO2 and in the presence of sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). They grow autotrophically in the presence of light and grow heterotrophically with nutrients in the absence of light.
These characteristics enable industrial-level high cultivation efficiency as well as low-cost production.
Galdieria is able to selectively and throughly collect precious metals such as gold (Au) and palladium (Pd) from dilute metal solutions and adsorb on the cell surface, displaying higher performance than the existing technologies (ion exchange resins, activated charcoal, etc.).
In addition, the cell contents include a variety of nutrients and useful substances as is the case for the other microalgae, which can be applied as food, cosmetics, dyes and other products.
In other words, Galdieria has a potential to contribute and provide a holistic solution to globally significant issues such as improving the efficiency of precious metal recycling at urban mines, eliminating mercury damage at overseas gold mines, overcoming food problems and reducing CO2 emissions.
We will challenge every day for realisation of a harmonious future among people, nature and the earth by harnessing the power of a unique microalga the mother earth has given a birth to.
At the same time, we aim to create an attractive and unprecedented corporate entity where each and every one of us can develop and flourish with a sense of responsibility and professionalism in each field.
