BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROSPECTS OF MICROALGAE

Abstract

The current state and perspectives of biotechnological use of microscopic algae were analyzed. The main directions of algobiotechnology, due to the physiological and biochemical features of these organisms, the volume of algae production in the world, the types of microalgae that had already been used or had practical prospects, ways of biomass obtaining and productivity increasing of industrial algae cultivation were given. The state of this problem, expediency of algobiotechnology development and prospects of microalgae cultivation in Ukraine were discussed.
