Cellana and PhytoSmart Unite to Build a Stronger, Broader Algae Platform

Building the World’s Most Sustainable and Scalable Algae-Based Nutrition Platform:

· From whole-cell consumer products to agriculture-scale photosynthetic production
· From Omega-3s to plant-based proteins

The Integrated Platform: Industrial Scale Meets Commercial Acceleration

Two complementary technologies. One scalable algae-based nutrition platform.

Cellana is a science-led algae biotechnology company that has built and validated one of the world’s most advanced outdoor, photosynthetic algae production platforms through extensive large-scale operation, pilot and demonstration commercialization, and rigorous technoeconomic validation across multiple environments. Through the acquisition of PhytoSmart, Cellana now integrates this proven industrial foundation with a revenue-generating, whole-cell algae platform optimized for rapid commercialization — creating a staged, scalable algae-based nutrition and ingredient platform spanning both DHA and EPA Omega-3s, plant-based proteins, and high-value consumer and industrial markets.

Cellana Contributions

Industrial foundation | Long-term scale
Extensive large-scale operational data and published techno-economic validation supporting multi-product algae biorefineries

Proven outdoor, photosynthetic production of high-yield, EPA-rich microalgae for food, feed,
supplements, and specialty ingredient applications.

More than a decade of industrial-scale outdoor production across diverse environments, including Hawaii, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and California.
~30,000 kg of algae biomass successfully produced using Cellana’s patented ALDUOTM hybrid system, validating unit economics and scalability for commercial deployment.

PhytoSmart Contributions

Commercial accelerator | Near-term revenue
Established consumer brand with repeat purchasers and a growing portfolio of seven active SKUs as of 2025 – which is expected to double in 2026.

Patented Sterile Plastic Algal Growth System (SPAGS™) enabling highly scalable, low CAPEX, indoor whole-cell algae fermentation.

Commercial DHA-Omega-3 whole-algae pet supplements sold via Amazon, PhytoSmart.com, and expanding retail channels.
A revenue-generating platform optimized for rapid product iteration, brand development, and market validation.
Together, the integrated platform combines near-term revenue with long-term industrial scalability — enabling disciplined expansion from pet nutrition today into human nutrition, functional foods, and ingredient markets beginning in 2026.

Industrial Proof Points

Industry-leading data from large-scale outdoor production, feed trials, and government-recognized test programs
Cellana has generated one of the most comprehensive datasets in photosynthetic algae production through large-scale outdoor operations, animal feed trials, and public-private partnerships.
This work includes results from the U.S. Department of Energy–supported Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3) program — where Cellana’s data was named the 2016 "State of Technology" benchmark and remains among the most widely referenced datasets for photosynthetic algae yields and economics.

Platform Expansion Pathway

Leveraging near-term commercialization to unlock multi-market scale

The integrated Cellana–PhytoSmart platform supports a phased expansion across high-value
markets:

Whole-Algae
Omega-3s

Pet nutrition today, with expansion into human supplements in 2026

Plant-Based Proteins

Sustainable protein ingredients for food and feed applications

EPA + DHA Complexes

High-purity Omega-3 ingredients for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical uses

Clean, Non-GMO Omega-3 Solutions

Fish-free, sustainable alternatives for global nutrition markets

This phased expansion strategy allows the combined company to scale responsibly — aligning commercialization, capital efficiency, and platform readiness — while preserving long-term value across consumer, ingredient, and industrial markets.
