Abstract Extensive anthropogenic activity has led to the accumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants in diverse ecosystems, which presents significant challenges for environment its inhabitants. Utilizing microalgae as a bioremediation tool can present potential solution these challenges. Microalgae have gained attention promising biotechnological detoxifying environmental pollutants. This is due their advantages, such rapid growth rate, cost-effectiveness, high oil-rich biomass production, ease implementation. Moreover, microalgae-based remediation more environmentally sustainable not generating additional waste sludge, capturing atmospheric CO 2 , being efficient nutrient recycling algal production biofuels high-value-added products generation. Hence, achieve sustainability's three main pillars (environmental, economic, social). Microalgal mediate contaminated wastewater effectively through accumulation, adsorption, metabolism. These mechanisms enable reduce concentration heavy metals levels that are considered non-toxic. However, several factors, microalgal strain, cultivation technique, type pollutants, limit understanding removal mechanism efficiency. Furthermore, adopting novel technological advancements (e.g., nanotechnology) may serve viable approach address challenge refractory pollutants process sustainability. Therefore, this review discusses ability different species mitigate persistent industrial effluents, dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals. Also, paper provided insight into nanomaterials, nanoparticles, nanoparticle-based biosensors from immobilization on nanomaterials enhance open new avenue future advancing research regarding biodegradation

Microalgae have emerged as a valuable source of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds, such proteins, polyphenols, polysaccharides, which are critical for overall health. Recent research has demonstrated the therapeutic potential microalgae in addressing variety health conditions, including inflammation, oxidative stress, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), neurological disorders. The aim this paper is to investigate chemical composition, nutritional value, biological properties microalgae. Relevant information was gathered through comprehensive search scientific databases, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library. Key microalgal strains Spirulina platensis, Chlorella vulgaris, Haematococcus pluvialis, Dunaliella salina shown notable health-promoting properties. For instance, platensis rich vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, while vulgaris offers significant levels chlorophyll carotenoids. pluvialis recognized its high astaxanthin content beta-carotene content. These beneficial effects managing type mellitus, alleviating offering neuroprotective potential. This provides an overview microalgae’s their medicinal properties, promising role treating chronic diseases, with particular focus on applications antidiabetic therapies.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a more cost-efficient strigolactone mimic SL-6 on Chlorella sorokiniana NIVA-CHL 176 growth in comparison with analog GR24 and plant biostimulant functions microalgal extracts. Three molar concentrations were tested: 10-7 M, 10-8 10-9 respectively. Five parameters assessed: optical density, turbidity, biomass production, chlorophyll fluorescence, pigment concentration. Results after 15 days culturing revealed that treatments significantly enhanced production (13.53% at M), synthesis, photosystem II activity (14.38% M). The highest increases pigments induced by 15.7% for (at M SL-6), 12.87% b 2.3% carotenoids 10.78% total SL-6) per gram compared solvent control (DMSO).
