Environmental biotechnology

The MarBiotech group focus its main areas of research on different biotechnological exploitations of microalgae and other marine organisms as seaweeds and halophyte plants.

The Aquaculture Division addresses various biological issues, contributing to a more sustainable and diverse development of the Norwegian aquaculture industry.

The division focuses on basic organisms in aquatic ecosystems, where both microalgae, bacteria and fungi play an important role. Research in blue-biome science and technology focuses on basic organisms in aquatic ecosystems, where both microalgae, bacteria and fungi play an important role, as well as how these organisms individually or in ecological societies interact.
