Abstract

Current status and future prospects of such problem as the production of microalgae and their application for biofuel generation (biodiesel, biohydrogen, bioethanol), as well as other products, is discussed in the review. The use of microalgae in human food, fodder, cosmetics, dyes, polysaccharides, antioxidants, medicines, and other products is quite promising. Presently, microalgae are noncompetitive with plant materials, due to economic reasons, in serving as a source of biofuel. Thereby, it is urgently necessary in modern biotechnology to improve the methods for the production of microalgae and search for new ways of their processing.
