About
CultivO2 is an Israeli startup that has developed an innovative bioconvergence platform for the autonomous culture of animal tissue. The technology utilizes photosynthetic microalgae to create an ecosystem that provides high-quality, nutritious, edible meat tissues, aiming to reduce costs and increase the scalability of cultivated meat production. The system continuously excretes oxygen, growth factors, and glucose, and consumes toxic by-products, supporting animal cell production for the food industry. This symbiotic recycling system can eliminate the need for bioreactors while using minimal media.
