Commercial applications of microalgae
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-algae as a source of protein.
TL;DR: About five decades ago, the mass production of certain protein-rich micro-algae was considered as a possibility to close the predicted so called "protein gap".
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic digestion of microalgae as a necessary step to make microalgal biodiesel sustainable.
TL;DR: The ability of these CO2 consuming microalgae to purify biogas and concentrate methane is discussed, and anaerobic digestion of the whole biomass appears to be the optimal strategy on an energy balance basis for the energetic recovery of cell biomass.
