The quest for cleaner and sustainable energy sources is crucial, considering the current scenario of a steep rise in consumption fuel crisis, exacerbated by diminishing fossil reserves rising pollutants. In particular, bioaccumulation hazardous substances like trivalent chromium has not only disrupted fragile equilibrium ecological system but also poses significant health hazards to humans. Microalgae emerged as promising solution achieving sustainability due their ability remediate contaminants produce greener alternatives such biofuels. This integrated approach provides an ambitious strategy address global concerns pertaining economic stability, environmental degradation, crisis. study investigates intricate defense mechanisms deployed freshwater microalgae Chlorella minutissima response Cr (III) toxicity. microalga achieved impressive 92% removal efficiency with IC50 value 200 ppm, illustrating its extraordinary resilience towards chromium-induced stress. Furthermore, this research embarked on thorough explorations encompassing morphological, pigment-centric, biochemical analyses, aimed at revealing adaptive strategies associated resilience, well dynamics carbon pool flow that contribute enhanced lipid extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) synthesis. FAME profile biodiesel produced complies benchmark established American European regulations, emphasizing suitability high-quality vehicular fuel. Elevated levels ROS, TBARS, osmolytes (such glycine-betaine), along increased activity antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GR, SOD), reveal activation robust against oxidative stress caused (III). finding investigation presents effective framework algal-based biorefinery approach, integrating pollutant detoxification generation vehicular-quality additional value-added compounds vital under concept circular economy.
