Abstract

Microalgae are mostly photoautotrophic microscopic organisms. According to their cellular structure, they are classified into two types, eukaryotes, and prokaryotes, and they are distributed in all types of ecosystems, presenting unique qualities due to the fact that they synthesize high value-added molecules used in various productive and environmental activities, and because their biomass is used as raw material to obtain various products. Therefore, the objective of this review was to collect, organize, and collate current information on the use of microalgae in the development of biotechnology involving the areas of agriculture, health, food, bioremediation, and biofuels. The results show that the microalga Chlorella stands out for its multiple uses in the five areas considered in this study. The search for healthier and more environmentally friendly technologies has contributed to the development of new biotechnological applications that require the study and incorporation of specialized microorganisms to replace and/or improve existing applications.

微藻在生物技术五大领域的应用

微藻多为光自养微生物。根据它们的细胞结构，它们被分为真核生物和原核生物两种类型，它们分布在所有类型的生态系统中，由于它们合成用于各种生产和环境活动的高附加值分子，并且它们的生物量被用作原料来获得各种产品，因此呈现出独特的品质。因此，本综述的目的是收集、组织和整理有关微藻在农业、卫生、食品、生物修复和生物燃料等领域的生物技术开发中使用的最新信息。结果表明，小球藻在本研究考虑的五个领域中具有多种用途。寻求更健康和更环保的技术有助于发展新的生物技术应用，这些应用需要研究和纳入专门的微生物，以取代和(或)改进现有的应用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
