Proliferation of mammalian cells with Chlorococcum littorale algal compounds without serum support.

In recent years, serum-free medium for mammalian cell cultivation has attracted a lot of attention, considering the high cost of production and environmental load involved in developing the conventional animal sera. The use of alternative growth-promoting products in mammalian cell cultivation such as extracts from microalgae has proven to be quite beneficial and environmental-friendly. This research aims to cultivate mammalian cells with growth-promoting factors derived from Chlorococcum littorale.

Muscle cell proliferation using water-soluble extract from nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 for sustainable cultured meat production.

Muscle cell cultivation, specifically the culture of artificial meat from livestock-derived cells in serum-free media is an emerging technology and has attracted much attention. However, till now, the high cost of production and environmental load have been significant deterrents. This study aims to provide an alternate growth-promoting substance that is free from animal derivatives and lowers nitrogen pollution.
