Abstract

Aphanothece is a genus of colonial cyanobacteria with a global distribution that is found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments. It has garnered interest because of its high content of amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, and pigments, which possess bioactive and biotechnological properties. This review analyzes articles highlighting Aphanothece species in biotechnological contexts and describes their biochemical composition. Among its primary metabolites are glutamic acid, alanine, palmitic acid, chlorophyll a, echinenone, and β-carotene. The biotechnological potential of Aphanothece spans the fields of biofuel, health, agro-industry, and bioremediation. The notable bioactivities of species such us A. sacrum, A. pallida, and A. bullosa include photoprotective, immunostimulant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and biostimulant activities due to secondary metabolites such as mycosporine-like amino acids, peptides, betaines, and glycerophospholipids. The high production of hydrogen and lipids by A. halophytica supports its use in biofuels. Species such as A. microscopica are effective at treating agro-industrial and domestic effluents and water polluted by metals and hydrocarbons, alongside simultaneous CO2 capture. This review provides information that can guide the sustainable use of Aphanothece species and identifies gaps in current knowledge, particularly in the development of commercial products. Continuous exploration of this genus can significantly promote environmental sustainability and biotechnological innovation.

蓝藻属:生物活性化合物及其在生物技术中的应用。
巨藻是一个属的殖民地蓝藻与全球分布,发现在各种水生和陆地环境。由于其氨基酸、碳水化合物、脂肪酸和色素含量高,具有生物活性和生物技术特性,因此引起了人们的兴趣。本文综述了近年来在生物技术领域的研究成果,并介绍了其生物化学组成。其主要代谢物有谷氨酸、丙氨酸、棕榈酸、叶绿素a、紫锥烯酮和β-胡萝卜素。Aphanothece的生物技术潜力横跨生物燃料、健康、农业工业和生物修复领域。sacrum、pallida和bullosa等物种的显著生物活性包括光保护、免疫刺激、抗菌、抗癌和生物刺激活性,这是由于次级代谢产物,如真菌孢素样氨基酸、肽、甜菜碱和甘油磷脂。盐生草的高氢和脂质产量支持其在生物燃料中的应用。显微拟南芥等物种在处理农业、工业和家庭污水以及被金属和碳氢化合物污染的水方面很有效,同时还能捕获二氧化碳。这篇综述提供的信息可以指导蛇麻属植物的可持续利用,并确定目前知识上的差距,特别是在商业产品的开发方面。对该属植物的不断探索可以显著促进环境可持续性和生物技术创新。

期刊介绍: This journal is devoted to publishing the highest quality innovative papers in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology. The typical focus of the journal is to report applications of novel scientific and technological breakthroughs, as well as technological subjects that are still in the proof-of-concept stage. Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a forum for case studies and practical concepts of biotechnology, utilization, including controls, statistical data analysis, problem descriptions unique to a particular application, and bioprocess economic analyses. The journal publishes reviews deemed of interest to readers, as well as book reviews, meeting and symposia notices, and news items relating to biotechnology in both the industrial and academic communities. In addition, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology often publishes lists of patents and publications of special interest to readers.
