Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), a class of secondary metabolites characterized by a cyclohexenone or cyclohexenimine ring structure bound to amino acid residues, are widely distributed in algae. These compounds exhibit strong ultraviolet-absorbi...
Asterarcys quadricellularis strain AQYS21, a green microalga isolated from the brackish waters near Manseong-ri Black Sand Beach in Korea, shows considerable potential as a source of bioactive compounds and biofuels. Therefore, this study analyzed th...
Seeking the development of nature-friendly agronomic techniques, the use of natural sources to promote plant growth and increase agricultural yield has gained relevance. In this context, the use of biofertilizers or biostimulants obtained from microa...
Microalgae are promising feedstock to produce biodiesel and other value added products. However, the water footprint for producing microalgal biodiesel is enormous and would put a strain on the water resources of water stressed countries like South A...
Microalgae are increasingly recognized as valuable sources of natural products with potential applications in cancer prevention and therapy due to their ability to produce structurally diverse bioactive metabolites. In the present study, methanolic e...
