Algal cells are surrounded by a sugar-rich layer known as the cell wall. Some of the sugars present in this layer have commercial importance in applications such as food and food additives, pharmaceuticals, textiles and potentially in the production of next-generation biofuels. In addition, it is possible that in the future fast growing algae may even be made to synthesise and secrete compounds such as medicines in low-cost ways that require little further processing. This project aims to better characterise some of the processes that need to be better understood in order to support future uses of algae.
