Molybdenum (Mo) is vital for the activity of a small but essential group enzymes called molybdoenzymes. So far, specifically five molybdoenzymes have been discovered in eukaryotes: nitrate reductase, sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase, aldehyde and mARC. In order to become biologically active, Mo must be chelated pterin, forming so-called cofactor (Moco). Deficiency or mutation any genes involved Moco biosynthesis results simultaneous loss all molybdoenzymes, fully partially preventing normal development affected organism. To prevent this, different mechanisms homeostasis finely regulated. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii unicellular, photosynthetic, eukaryotic microalga that has produced fundamental advances key steps over last 30 years, which extrapolated higher organisms, both plants animals. These include identification first two molybdate transporters eukaryotes (MOT1 MOT2), characterization biosynthesis, enzyme protects transfers (MCP1), mARC plants, discovery crucial role reductase–mARC complex plant nitric oxide production. This review aims provide comprehensive summary progress achieved using C. as model organism propose how this can continue improving with advancements field future.

Recently, green microalgae have gained importance due to their nutritional and bioactive compounds, which makes them some of the most promising innovative functional foods. The aim this study was evaluate chemical profile in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial antimutagenic activity an aqueous extract microalga Ettlia pseudoalveolaris, obtained from freshwater lakes Ecuadorian Highlands. Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) were used determine ability reduce damage caused by hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, eukaryotic system Saccharomyces cerevisiae possible cytotoxic, mutagenic effect E. pseudoalveolaris. showed a notable antioxidant capacity moderate antibacterial mostly high content polyphenolic compounds. It is likely that compounds present also responsible for observed reduction HMEC-1 cells. An through direct mechanism found. Based on results assays, pseudoalveolaris proved be good source capacities making it potential food.

The recognition and use of algae in the very trend-driven cosmetic industry is progressively increasing. Up to now, main focus was on large seaweeds a limited number microalgae. However, motile microalgae, flagellates, remain underscored this aspect, although some them are utilized commercially. Flagellates from different taxonomic groups occupy various habitats contain bioactive high-value multifunctional compounds, which novel. Moreover, they may simultaneously produce substances, together with development downstream processing technologies, makes promising source for modern biotechnology. present review covers data 411 strains, 251 species 110 genera 6 phyla, oriented generally towards less explored flagellates. It demonstrates their great potential as bearers interesting novel compounds that can be beneficially applied cosmetics. Safety aspects both sources products also discussed. Considering gaps knowledge, necessity expand research well-known yet unexplored microalgae shown, encouraging upstreaming processes, including phycoprospecting. Last but not least, paper outlines role living culture collections using good expertise before running biochemical tests, cultivation, bioengineering experiments.
