axabio

Proviron is splitting off its microalgae business into the scale-up axabio, with Jonas de Cooman and Mark Michiels as co-founders. Axabio focuses on producing antioxidants from microalgae, which are used by cosmetics and food companies, among others. The futuristic-looking production process should make the scale-up the market leader in the antioxidant astaxanthin.
