Microalgae biotechnology

This research line primarily aims to expand scientific and technological knowledge in microalgae production from a multidisciplinary perspective. Algal biomass holds high potential as a raw material for obtaining sustainable biofuels, bulk chemicals, fertilizers, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, algae can be used in environmental applications such as carbon dioxide biofixation or wastewater treatment. Therefore, this research line is structured into different areas of action:

  • Ecophysiology of microalgae and potential biotechnological uses: This includes the isolation, identification, maintenance, and characterization of strains.
  • The use of microalgae biotechnology for various purposes:
    • Evaluating the ecotoxicity of aquatic contaminants.
    • As a wastewater treatment system.
    • Obtaining more sustainable products.
