Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microalgae and macroalgae have drawn increasing research interest over the last few decades due to their ability to produce high-value products such as carotenoids, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and proteins. They have become popular from both application and fundamental points of view as high-value compounds that can be applied in the formulation of numerous bioproducts such as nutraceuticals, animal feed, agriculture biofertilizers, cosmetics, biomedicine, and textile products. However, only a minute fraction of algae has been investigated and developed into applications. Given the vast taxonomic diversity of algae, most have not yet been explored; therefore, we do not currently have a full understanding of the associated chemical diversity. Hence, it is essential to expand upon the current paradigm in research to assess the potential of algae.
Based on the success of the Special Issue "High-Value Algae Products" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special_issues/7CN55EOSGQ), as well as the critical relevance of this topic, we are pleased to announce the second edition of this Special Issue. This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and review papers which focus on high-value products derived from marine microalgae and marine macroalgae. We welcome work on strain identification, culture optimization, and the extraction, isolation, structure elucidation, and potential application of high-value products.
