Biomolecules from Microalgae and Cyanobacteria: Applications and Market Survey

Nowadays, microalgae and cyanobacteria have become a promising sustainable source of useful products, thanks to their richness in bioactive metabolites high value (antibiotics, toxins, pharmaceutically active compounds, plant growth regulators, others). These photoautotroph microorganisms generate biomass using photosynthesis. This review, which distinguishes Cyanobacteria, often called blue-green microalgae, aims present classification taxonomic diversity as the ecological niches occupied by them. In addition, usages open ponds photobioreactors produce various Cyanobacteria strains high-value compounds from these are summarized. Finally, numerous commercial applications phytoplanktons different fields, such food, dietary supplements, feed, cosmetic, biofuel applications, reviewed.
