title: A review of current research in the field of chemistry and pharmacology of algae
abstract: Microalgae represent a large group of prokaryotic and eukaryotic, mainly photoautotrophic, single-cell or colony-forming microorganisms. These microorganisms are recognized as renewable, sustainable and economically profitable sources of biofuels and biologically active compounds for the production of drugs and food additives. Microalgae compounds, such as carbohydrates, peptides, lipids and carotenoids, attract particular attention in pharmaceutical biotechnology and medicine due to their antit
