• Effect of light supply and carbon source on cell growth and cellular composition of a newly isolated microalga Chlorella vulgaris ESP‐31 (2010, background): “In addition, carbohydrate exists in several forms in the microalgae, such as starch, glucose, sugars, and polysaccharides [1] and finds its potential applications in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries [4].”
• Biodiesel from microalgae. (2007, background): “Microalgae are sunlight-driven cell factories that convert carbon dioxide to potential biofuels, foods, feeds and high-value bioactives (Metting and Pyne, 1986; Schwartz, 1990; Kay, 1991; Shimizu, 1996, 2003; Borowitzka, 1999; Ghirardi et al., 2000; Akkerman et al., 2002; Banerjee et al., 2002; Meli”
• Morphology, composition, production, processing and applications of Chlorella vulgaris: A review (2014, background): “Therefore, growing them next to combustion power plants is of major importance due to their remarkable capacity to absorb carbon dioxide that they convert into potential biofuel, food, feed and highly added value components [9–14].”
• Effect of dietary supplementation of biofloc on growth performance and digestive enzyme activities in Penaeus monodon (2013, background): “, 2008a) which enhance digestive enzymes (Xu and Pan, 2012) and health status of the cultured shrimps (Singh et al., 2005).”
• Microalgae metabolites: A rich source for food and medicine (2017, background): “These important essential fatty acids in this microalga are used as supplements in foods for pregnant and nursing women and cardiovascular patients (Ward and Singh, 2005).”
• Microzooplanktonic grazers – A potentially devastating threat to the commercial success of microalgal mass culture (2017, background): “The bioactive metabolites produced by algae encompass a wide range of 180 chemical entities, with activities against viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, as well as potential use in the 181 treatment of cancers and other health problems [80, 81, 82].”
• Commercial application of microalgae other than as biofuels: a brief review (2011, background): “Although the commercial exploitation of microalgal biofuel may be some time off It is generally agreed that microalgae have a great potential to produce a wide range of important biochemicals for food, medical, research and other uses and that many exciting and important biochemicals are yet to be d”
• Effect of different light spectra on the growth and productivity of acclimated Nannochloropsis sp. (Eustigmatophyceae) (2015, background): “Microalgae can also be used to produce many essential commodities including high value bioactive products, at a commercial scale [48].”
• Sustainability and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae): facts and challenges (2011, background): “Also, they may be used as a source of natural chemicals to substitute synthetic cosmetics (Burja et al. 2001; Singh et al. 2005) and conventional energy resources (Deng and Coleman 1999; Dutta et al.”
• The effect of sodium bicarbonate supplementation on growth and biochemical composition of marine microalgae cultures (2012, neutral): “Microalgae pigments, especially carotenoids and phycobiliproteins, have been proposed to have applications that range from food colorants to effective agents in disease prevention in humans (Apt and Behrens 1999; Singh et al. 2005; Spolaore et al. 2006; Vilchez et al. 2011).”
• Algae in food and feed (2013, background): “…is already mentioned above in the text, but there are also studies on the hypocholesterolemic effect which is attributed to different compounds, such as the activity of lipoprotein lipase, chlorophyll content (cited by Singh et al., 2005), and C phycocyanin (cited by Gantar and Svircev, 2008).”
