MicroBio Engineering, Inc. is a biotechnology research firm focused on microalgae-based systems for treating nutrient-rich waste streams, producing renewable energy, and supplying animal feed. The organization emphasizes near- to mid-term applications, integrating algae cultivation with wastewater treatment as a practical pathway to biofuel production. It began as a consulting partnership in 2007 and was incorporated in California in 2009, led by founders Dr. John Benemann and Dr. Tryg Lundquist, who have long worked on algae for wastewater and energy applications at UC Berkeley. The company serves corporate, government, and university clients, helping them understand the scientific and engineering aspects of algae cultivation. Based in San Luis Obispo, California, it operates as a small to mid-sized firm. A notable development in recent years is a partnership announced in October 2018 with Raven Engineered Films Division to display algae pond solutions.
