Abstract

Existing supply of high value added products including protein supplement and bio-commodity resources would not meet the demand of biomolecules including food supplements and community biomolecules. Hence, an alternate and unconventional source of high value added products including protein supplement and bio-commodity resources need to be explored. Algal biomasses are potential biocatalysts which produce food supplements and other value-added products. Due to anthropogenic activities and global warming brings environmental stress associated factors on plants and algae biomass generation. Algae have tremendous efficiency to sequestrate CO2 to minimize global warming and enhance high value added biomolecules generations. Phycoprospecting effort would help to identify the naive algal strains for sustainable biorefinery, the source of food supplements, feeds, biofuels, nutraceuticals, and the other value added products. Hence, current study focuses on strategies to elevate the algal biomass generation using native and genetic engineered algae for ameliorating high value added biomolecule generation for community.

Key words: Biomass, Carbon dioxide sequestration, Poverty cycle, Phycoprospecting, Genetic engineering.
