Research Progress of Marine-algae Biopharmaceutical Promoting the Construction of Maritime Power

Abstract

The rich polysaccharides in marine algae cells are the frontier hotspots in the field of marine biomedicine in the future. At present, the accumulation of polysaccharides in marine algae mainly focuses on macroalgae. Compared with macroalgae, marine microalgae have the advantages of wide variety, simple operation, and accurate measurement. They are potential marine biomedical germplasm resources that need to be tapped urgently. This paper started with the development of medicinal marine algae resources, the cultivation of medicinal marine algae, and the environmental assurance analysis of marine biopharmaceuticals, to find out the bottlenecks existing in marine biopharmaceuticals, and to explore feasible solutions. The new concept of "The whole chain of marine microalgae biopharmaceuticals" would lay the foundation for boosting maritime power and enhancing the economic benefits and market competitiveness of marine biomedicine.
