The ecosystem services can be divided using two major classification systems, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) and Common International Classification of Services (CICES). In MEA system, are into four service clusters: supporting, provisioning, regulating, cultural. On other hand, CICES system regards “MEA supporting services” as organism natural function (and not an service). Thus, this is basis for all three (provisioning, cultural) provided by one organism. These analyzed type habitat, fauna or flora. Seaweeds, marine macroalgae, key organisms in estuarine seawater habitats ecosystems, which currently extreme importance due to climate changes blue–green economy.

Abstract Cellulose has been intensively investigated for biomedical applications, because of its excellent properties, like biodegradability, biocompatibility, abundant availability renewable resources and cost-effectiveness. Among all sources cellulose, marine macroalgae or seaweeds, are acquiring tremendous attention, due to their high around the world. Moreover, atypical proliferation some exotic species represents a serious problem ecosystems, since accumulation threatens native oceanic worldwide. Several studies already reported successfully extraction cellulose derivatives from brown, green red macroalgae. The extracted properties vary according type algae, maturity used methods. This review will cover main methods extract focusing on more sustainable ones, as well further processing into various derivatives. Electrospun nanofibers have revealed great potential such delivery therapeutic agents, tissue engineering, wound dressings enzyme immobilization. Pure presents drawbacks, limited solubility in organic solvents inability fuse inter intra-molecular hydrogen bonding. To overcome these limitations, derivatives, which includes microcrystalline nanocrystals, nanofibers, acetate carboxymethyl extensively studied generate electrospun fibers. Therefore, this aims explore seaweeds promising source methodologies compounds, demonstrate developed by electrospinning with algae-based applications.

Seaweed presents a sustainable alternative source of valuable fatty acids (FAs) involving omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6). As such, there is great potential to reduce pressure on wild fish populations, helping combat overfishing its associated global impacts. This study explored the effect various environmental factors FA content profile Ulva lactuca using indoor photobioreactors. The taxonomic identity U. was confirmed through DNA sequencing 3 markers (rbcL, ITS, tufa). effects temperature (8, 20, 30 °C), seawater salinity (3.5, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0% w/v), nutrient type concentration (0 or 6.4 ppm, consisting 50% w/w N-NO3, N-NH4, 0-1 ppm P-PO4), irradiance (50, 100, 150 μmol photons m-2 s-1) were evaluated. assessed their influence lactuca's biomass production rate (BPR), dry weight (DW), ash (AC), composition after 7 21 days. results revealed that days, polyunsaturated (PUFA) decreased with increasing (i.e., 38.9% ± 0.7, 33.8% 0.4, 27.0% 6.6% 0.1 for 2.0, 3.5% w/v, respectively). n-3 days increased significantly under following conditions: 8 °C, 2.5% nitrogen without addition phosphorous, an irradiation 50 s-1, affording low n-6/n-3 proportion fits desirable level n6/n3 ratio (1-10) balanced nutritional diet.

One of the greatest challenges 21st century is to obtain an ecological source transport fuels. The production biofuels based on feedstock obtained through exploitation arable land translates into increase in food prices and progressive degradation environment. Unlike traditional agricultural raw materials, algae are a neutral alternative many respects. They can even be as waste from polluted water reservoirs. manifestations deterioration surface waters eutrophication reservoirs, which leads number algae. Algae reaching shores reservoirs used material for biofuels, including biogas, bioethanol biodiesel. However, it should remembered that blooms periodic phenomenon, appearing summer months. Therefore, order ensure continuity obtaining energy biomass, necessary conduct cultivation artificial open tanks or photobioreactors. Accordingly, this review first briefly discusses properties possible applications different species various industrial areas, then describes process presence eutrophicated Technologies algal systems technologies biomass pretreatment were critically discussed. Various methods also reviewed, conditions summarized. Biofuels generations materials they presented determine future directions development field. Parameters affecting selection examined presented.

Increased incomes, urbanization, and an aging population, are leading to changes in consumption patterns, resulting a growing demand for proteins. From sustainability perspective, there is consensus that animal protein production has disproportionately impact on the environment, particularly intensive systems require significant amounts of feed crops. Macroalgae have emerged as promising feedstock transitioning towards blue bioeconomy. Red seaweed stands out attractive action, it can contain concentrations up 47 %, highest among terrestrial plants other algae divisions. These proteins offer rich source essential amino acids, making them excellent candidates human food formulation. Nevertheless, compared major components such carbohydrates, red macroalgae remain underexploited. This review focuses potential within environmentally friendly biorefinery development strategy, primarily biomedical applications. It also explores strategies limitations associated with extraction purification, emphasizing need further vivo toxicological studies, regarding digestibility bioavailability algal
