During Earth’s early planetary stage, the first life forms were mainly a primordial, bubbling concoction of algae cells with a huge appetite for any poison it could get to: methane, carbon dioxide and monoxide, nitrates, phosphates, any gaseous or solid poison that would kill most modern lifeforms on contact. While devouring all of that, algae produced pure oxygen and various sugars. That is how ancient algae created Earth’s atmosphere and life as we know it. Every algae cell is built as a sophisticated and effective chemical plant that uses the sun’s energy to break down toxic substances and turn them into oxygen and carbohydrates in a process called photosynthesis. More than 5 billion years later, we decided to replicate nature’s wonderful behavior and apply it to help humans to deal with today’s major challenges such as air and water pollution, health, agriculture, and even local flora and fauna restoration.
