TL;DR: The recent advances in microalgal biotechnology to establish a biorefinery approach to treat wastewater are highlighted and the possible merits, and demerits of phycoremediation are discussed.

TL;DR: It is concluded that self‐flocculation is the most desired approach for the energy‐ and environment‐efficient harvesting of microalgal biomass, however, its poorly understood genetic basis needs to be deciphered through detailed studies to harness its potential for the algal biorefinery.

TL;DR: This review discusses the progress made in the molecular approaches for the enhanced biosynthesis and easier recovery of these biofuels through employing the secreting microbial cell factories and selected fungal and bacterial membrane efflux pumps are studied to evaluate their biofuel secretion potential.

TL;DR: In this article, a newly isolated cyanobacterium for its applications in the multiproduct biorefinery was identified based on morphology and the gene sequence of 23S rRNA, the strain was identified as Trichocoleus desertorum.

TL;DR: Methods for the delivery of exogenous materials and other advanced biotechnological tools for E. gracilis, such as CRISPR and RNA interference are reviewed to provide a reference to improve the research in functional genomics and synthetic biology of Euglena.
