Microalgae are defined as minute photosynthetic plants
and can be found in both seawater and freshwater. These have similar properties
as land based plants but they have to be submerged in an aqueous environment
where they have efficient access to water, carbon dioxide and other nutrients.
Nowadays,
there are several marketable applications of microalgae some of which include;
(i) used to enhance the nourishing value of food and animal feed owing to their
chemical composition, (ii) they play a crucial role in aquaculture and (iii)
they can be assimilated into cosmetics. Moreover, they are cultivated as a
source of highly valuable molecules. Microalgae is also used in the production
of pharmaceuticals, diet supplements, pigments and biofuel and represent the
largest, yet one of the most poorly understood groups of microorganisms on
earth. Read more>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
