TLDR
The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine, while future research should focus on the improvement of production systems and the genetic modification of strains.About:

Nutraceuticals From Algae and Cyanobacteria
TL;DR: This chapter presents the different nutraceuticals of micro- and macroalgae origin, its biochemical properties, and health benefits in a comprehensive manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel-fuel: Content, production, producers, contemporary biotechnology (Review)
TL;DR: The main part of the review is devoted to an analysis of diesel biofuel on the basis of bacterial lipids, filamentous fungi, yeasts, plants, photo- and heterotrophic algae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of biomass production by Spirulina platensis as function of phosphate concentrations and pH regimes
TL;DR: Modified Gompertz model could be regarded as sufficient to describe the biomass production by S. platensis with high determination coefficients and low sum of square value indicated that biological parameters for biomass production were successfully predicted by modified Gomertz model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production via lipase catalysed transesterification of microalgae lipids from Tetraselmis sp.
TL;DR: The results revealed that 0.18 g/L nitrate concentration was the optimal for cultivation of microalgae, however, the highest lipid content was achieved in the absence of nitrate (0.0g/L), which was 7 folds higher compared to the alkaline based transesterification.

Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of microalgal biomass and metabolites: process options and economics
TL;DR: Economics of monoseptic production of microalgae in photobioreactors and the downstream recovery of metabolites are discussed using eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) recovery as a representative case study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Otto Pulz,Wolfgang Gross +1 more
TL;DR: The biotechnology of microalgae has gained considerable importance in recent decades and this group of organisms represents one of the most promising sources for new products and applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haematococcus astaxanthin: applications for human health and nutrition
TL;DR: The research reviewed supports the assumption that protecting body tissues from oxidative damage with daily ingestion of natural astaxanthin might be a practical and beneficial strategy in health management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial production of microalgae: ponds, tanks, tubes and fermenters
TL;DR: A helical tubular photobioreactor system, the BIOCOIL™, has been developed which allows these algae to be grown reliably outdoors at high cell densities in semi-continuous culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial potential for Haematococcus microalgae as a natural source of astaxanthin.
TL;DR: Cultivation methods have been developed to produce Haematococcus containing 1.5-3.0% astaxanthin by dry weight, with potential applications as a pigment source in aquaculture, poultry feeds and in the worldwide nutraceutical market.
