F&M commercializes several cultivation systems: glass bubble columns for inocula production, the Green Wall Panel (GWP®) series for research and large scale production, race-way ponds. F&M’s deep knowledge along with proprietary photobioreactor technologies (GWP®) and a collection of over 1200 microalgal and cyanobacterial strains, makes it the ideal partner for starting applied research and commercial activity on microalgae. F&M microbiological and chemical laboratories are hosted at the Department of Agri-Food and Environmental Sciences (DISPAA) and at VALORE – Centro di Competenza Gino Florenzano, next to the experimental area. Construction of a proprietary 350 m2 laboratory will start in summer 2016 within the experimental area in Sesto Fiorentino.
