Abstract EN
Microalgae are one of the important components in food chains of aquatic ecosystems and have been used for human consumption as food and as medicines.
The wide diversity of compounds synthesized from differentmetabolic pathways of fresh andmarine water algae provide promising sources of fatty acids, steroids, carotenoids, polysaccharides, lectins, mycosporine-like amino acids, halogenated compounds, polyketides, toxins, agar agar, alginic acid and carrageenan.
This review discusses microalgae used to produce biological substances and its economic importance in food science, the pharmaceutical industry and public health.
