    seemingly synthesized by bacteriae in chlorella’s habitat

    Isn’t bacteria (e.g. Propionibacterium freudenreichii) also how vegan B12 is produced already today? So for me personally it’s pretty much the same process as we know it for years without involvement of algae.

      Thank you kindly for sharing, I hadn’t considered that! That makes complete sense.

      I assume bioavailability might favor the ancient practice of natural symbiosis of bacteria with plants in their natural habitat anyways, and acknowledge we can certainly recreate such environment well to farm vitamin B12 specifically.

      The large range of nutrients accounts to me favoring chlorella over other options.
