10 Mar 2014 --- Valensa International and Contract Biotics have announced that Contract Biotics has started construction of an additional six acres of algae production units at the company’s San Diego County facility. Slated to come on-line in the fall of this year, the expansion will more than triple Contract Biotics’ current biomass production and thus play a crucial role in helping Valensa meet the market demand for its line of formulated, condition-specific Astaxanthin-based products.
