Concise review on seaweed photosynthesis: From physiological bases to biotechnological applications
Seaweeds play an important role for the environment, since they are photosynthetic organisms, contributing to the cycling of nutrients and to the protection and feeding of several animals. The potential for biotechnological applications of marine macroalgae biomass is enormous, and to attend the dem...

| description | Seaweeds play an important role for the environment, since they are photosynthetic organisms, contributing to the cycling of nutrients and to the protection and feeding of several animals. The potential for biotechnological applications of marine macroalgae biomass is enormous, and to attend the demand of the current market, the knowledge of the physiological characteristics of these organisms is essential to ensure a high productivity in cultivation systems. In this review, we contribute to the knowledge about the photosynthetic characteristics of seaweeds, describing relevant aspects of marine macroalgae and photosynthesis, and the biotechnological use of these organisms. |
