  • Abstract:
  • The global demand for sustainable and renewable resources has been escalating due to the depleting fossil fuel reserves and associated environmental issues. This study conducted a comprehensive biochemical analysis of various soil blue-green algae (BGA) isolates to identify potential BGA for biotechnological applications. The research focused on systematically examining the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, and chlorophyll a content of different BGA species under standardized conditions. Species of genera Anabaena and Nostoc showed consistently high yields of valuable biochemical components were prioritized for further development. The study also investigated the optimal environmental conditions required to maximize the production of specific biochemical compounds in the most promising BGA species. The feasibility of using these high-yield BGA species in biofuel production, bioethanol production, nutritional supplements, animal feed, and agricultural enhancements was explored. Major results indicated significant variability in biochemical composition among the different species, with certain BGA species demonstrating particularly high lipid, carbohydrate, protein, and chlorophyll a content. These findings highlighted the potential of BGA for various biotechnological applications, addressing the pressing issues of energy scarcity, environmental degradation, and food security. These results have significant large-scale implications, providing a foundation for the sustainable and eco-friendly utilization of BGA in diverse industrial applications.
