IDConsortium Los actuales sistemas de producción de microalgas, ya desarrollados, muestran fallos y pérdidas de eficiencia por causas aún desconocidas. Un grupo de investigadores de la Universidad de Almería, formado por F. Gabriel Acién, José M. Fernández, Cintia Gómez y Ana Sánchez, pretende dar respuesta a estas cuestiones y contribuir así al escalado industrial de procesos basados en este tipo de microorganismos. Lo hace a través de su participación en el proyecto europeo PRODIGIO, que ha comenzado su andadura el pasado mes de enero y que **en los próximos tres años espera dar un impulso a la producción de microalgas a escala mundial**. El objetivo es aprender de lo que ocurre en los cultivos de microalgas para poder desarrollar herramientas de control y escalado de este tipo de proceso. “Se necesita domesticar las microalgas para hacerlas más eficientes y productivas como ocurre con la ganadería y agricultura actual, pero lo que el hombre tardó milenios en hacer en el pasado hoy lo tenemos que hacer en pocos años”, explican los investigadores. ##### Para obtener la información completa, haga clic [aquí](https://www.diariodealmeria.es/almeria/UAL-PRODIGIO-estabilizar-produccion-industrial_0_1558345880.html). ​ [![Figure 1.
