Abstract Microalgae’s adaptability and resilience to Earth’s diverse environments have evolved these photosynthetic microorganisms into a biotechnological source of industrially relevant physiological functions biometabolites. Despite this, microalgae-based industries only exploit handful species. This lack biodiversity hinders the expansion microalgal industry. Microalgal bioprospecting, searching for novel biological algal resources with new properties, remains low throughput time-consuming endeavour due inefficient workflows that rely on non-selective sampling, monoalgal culture status outdated, non-standardized characterization techniques. review will highlight importance bioprospecting critically explore commonly employed methodologies. We also current advances driving next generation smart focusing transdisciplinary methodologies potential enable high-throughput biodiscoveries.
