Special Issue Description

The development of recent environmental mitigation techniques has mostly focused on reducing carbon emissions and the rise in global temperatures. Microalgal-based bioprocesses include a wide range of potential end products, including platform chemicals, proteins, and higher-value compounds that can directly cause a reduction in carbon emissions. The integrated biorefinery cultivation of microalgae for wastewater treatment with simultaneous generation of fuels (alcohol and biodiesel), high-value compounds (astaxanthin, lutein, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), etc.), proteins, etc. is another potential approach to sustainability, however, the technology readiness level is rather low and are not established. The extraction of intracellular and extracellular bio-components from microalgae as well as cell wall disruption techniques, however, need to be enhanced to provide sustainable, affordable, and workable bioprocess strategies, as problems like excessive energy consumption make the process ineffective. The effectiveness of cell disruption procedures and product extraction differs among different microalgae and is mostly influenced by the growth circumstances and cell wall composition. Green freshwater microalgae such as Botryococccus braunii, Scenedesmus obliquus, Desmodesmus sp., Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella Vulgaris, and Haematococcus Pluvialis as well as marine species like Dunaliella salina and Nannochloropsis gaditana are all described in the current review along with their cell wall composition.

Manuscript Submission information

Manuscripts should be submitted online via the manuscript Engine. Once you register on APID, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline.
All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the email address:[email protected] for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a Double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for the submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
