Microalgae are diverse photosynthetic microorganisms adapted to live in a plethora of different environments. Recently they have emerged as a valuable source of protein, increasingly used as food and feed supplements in aquaculture, animal, and human nutrition. Furthermore, microalgae produce numerous bioactive compounds which are being exploited by the pharmaceutical and food industries. This project in particular will look closely at the anti-inflammatory properties of the diatom species Cylindrotheca closterium |
