To review microalgae physiology, large-scale biomass production strategies, and current commercial applications across energy, nutrition, and environmental remediation.
Synthesized literature on microalgal cell physiology, high-cell-density cultivation systems, and mass biomass production.
Evaluated industrial utilization across biofuel extraction, aquaculture nutrition, bioactive functional foods, and wastewater effluent treatment.
Microalgal biomass provides abundant fatty acids suitable for biofuel production while capturing carbon dioxide via high-density cultivation.
Microalgae supply bioactive compounds and antioxidants that enhance the nutritional profile of functional foods and aquaculture feed.
Cultures effectively remove nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals from wastewater effluents, reducing environmental contamination and eutrophication risk.
