Microalgae metabolism for optimal productivity

Metabolic pathway analysis and optimization is nowadays a key target for increasing productivity in microalgae biotechnology. Examples for this strategy are provided by de Marchin et al., Maadane et al., as well as by Remacle and by Massoz et al. They provide new data on the role of CO2 concentration on photosynthetic efficiency under outdoor conditions, investigate the antioxidant activity and its impact on PUFA and carotenoid profiles, as well as the identification of new metabolic mutants as

    When this occurs, methane may be used effectively as a fuel and as a chemical feedstock (Chandrasekhar et al., 2020). According to the literature, several researchers investigated the capabilities of several substrates for biomethane production (Chandrasekhar et al., 2021), such as algae, forest wood, and leaf biomass, agriculture waste biomass, and industrial effluents/wastewater, among other things (Andersen et al., 2018; Kruse, 2015; Ma et al., 2021; Uggetti et al., 2016). According to their findings, algal biomass might serve as a viable candidate for the production of biomethane.
