Guest lecture is begin with power point presentation by Dr.A.SrinivasaRaogaru .He given information about Micro algae and research key point
- Micro algae or Microphytes are microscopic algae, typically found in freshwater and marine systems.
- Microalgae capable of performing photosynthesis are important for life on earth they produce approximately half of the atmospheric oxygen and use simultaneously the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to grow photoautotrophically.
- It is possible to accumulate the desired products in microalgae to a large extent by changing environment factors like temperature,illumination, pH, co2supply, salt and nutrients.
- Microphytes also produce chemical signals which contribute to prey selection, defense and avoidance
- Cyanobacteria, Green algae and Diatoms are some of the examples of Microalgae.
- Microalgae are a rich source of Carbohydrates,protein,enzymes and fiber.
- Now a day’s chlorella,like spirulina is mainly sold in health food stores and as a fish food.
- Microalgae are represented in sun protection and hair care products.Species that are used for Cosmetics areAscophyllumnodosum, Alariaesculenta, Spirulina platensisetc
