Industrial Production
Both macroalgae and microalgae have attracted considerable attention as promising sources for the sustainable production of fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins, proteins, polymers, and other compounds of interest. Moreover, secondary metabolites from algae have great potential for industrial development.
Advantages of Algae as Cell Factory
As a new type of solar cell factory, algae have many distinct advantages in the commercial-scale production of target substances.
Resource Friendly
Compared to terrestrial plants, microalgae are not only fast-growing, but they also lack competition for resources used for food crops, including the use of fresh water and arable land.
Environmentally Friendly
The important fact that microalgae have been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status and pose no risk to human health opens a wide path for the use of microalgae as attractive and multifunction cell factories.
Multiple Available Gene Editing Methods
To accommodate commercial and large-scale production, new algal strains with characteristics such as rapid growth, as well as high light and heat tolerance need to be developed. To date, several approaches have been developed to increase algal productivity for value-added biological products.
Multiple Applications for Algae Production
As comprehensive cell factories, algae can be used both directly as nutritional or cosmetic preparations and through diverse genetic engineering means for the targeted production of commercially valuable target substances.
