TL;DR: Analysis of macroalgae species from three different phyla showed that rhodophytes and phaeophytes have higher concentrations of PUFA, particularly from the n-3 series, thereby being a better source of these compounds.

TL;DR: This review focuses on sources of n-3 LC-PUFA, namely eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, in marine microalgae, as alternatives to fish oils.

TL;DR: Results show that direct sorting onto solid medium upon FACS can save about 3 weeks during the scale-up process as compared with the growth of the same cultures in liquid medium.

TL;DR: This work explored the nutritional properties and the antioxidant potential of these species using five integrative methods and found that all species had a nutritional profile suitable for human consumption with high levels of protein and n -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated methanol and hexane extracts from Tetraselmis chuii, Nannochloropsis oculata, Chlorella minutissima and Rhodomonas salina for total phenolic contents, radical scavenging activity (RSA), metal chelating potential against copper and iron ions and AChE inhibition.
