ResumoMicroalgae could be utilized for the production of several chemicals which are either unique to the algae or found at relatively high concentrations and command a high market value. In this respect, Spirulina is one of the more promising microalgae. It is especially rich, relative to other sources, in the polyunsaturated fatty acid y-linolenic acid (GLA), and in pigments such as phycocyanin, myxoxanthophyl and zeaxanthin.
