Microalgae are rich in beneficial substances to human health with great potential to prevent numerous diseases. They are currently used in the form of dry biomass or for the extraction of supplements and natural food colors.
Different products based on microalgae are commercially available for use in agriculture as innovative and potential products to improve crop production.
The photosynthetic capacity of microalgae is 3 to 5 times higher than that of terrestrial plants. Microalgae are responsible for the absorption of at least 60% of all global CO2 emissions.
Microalgae have mechanisms to absorb inorganic and organic compounds dissolved in water as nutrients for their metabolism. Nitrogen compounds, phosphates, heavy metals and others can be metabolized or sequestered by microalgae and removed from the water.
Source of natural pigments, antioxidants and vitamins, various species of microalgae are being used to treat various skin-related problems.
