Microalgae-Scientific-Journals

 Algae are photosynthetic organisms that grow during a range of aquatic habitats, including lakes, pounds, rivers, oceans, and even wastewater. they will tolerate a good range of temperatures, salinities, and pH values; different light intensities; and conditions in reservoirs or deserts and may grow alone or in symbiosis with other organisms . Algae are broadly classified as Rhodophyta (red algae), Phaeophyta (brown algae), and Chlorophyta (green algae) and classified by size as macroalgae or microalgae. Macroalgae (seaweed) are multicellular, large-size algae, visible with the eye , while microalgae are microscopic single cells and should be prokaryotic, almost like cyanobacteria (Chloroxybacteria), or eukaryotic, almost like chlorophyte (Chlorophyta). Microalgae are often an upscale source of carbon compounds, which may be utilized in biofuels, health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics . They even have applications in wastewater treatment and atmospheric CO2 mitigation. Microalgae produce a good range of bioproducts, including polysaccharides, lipids, pigments, proteins, vitamins, bioactive compounds, and antioxidants. The interest in microalgae as a renewable and sustainable feedstock for biofuels production has inspired a replacement focus in biorefinery. Growth enhancement techniques and gene-splicing could also be wont to improve their potential as a future source of renewable bioproducts. The industrial cultivation of microalgae to supply biofuels and bioproducts has increased dramatically over the previous couple of decades . Algae are produced in quantity and sold directly as food and nutrient supplements, while their processed products or extracts are utilized in biopharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
