微藻是具有不同形态、生理和遗传特征的微生物，这些特征赋予产生不同生物活性代谢物的能力。微藻生物技术已成为各个领域的研究课题，由于可以从这些微生物中获得各种生物产品。当微藻培养过程被更好地理解时，微藻可以成为感兴趣的化合物的环境友好且经济上可行的来源，因为可以在受控培养中优化生产。来源于微藻的生物活性化合物具有抗炎、抗微生物和抗氧化活性等。此外，这些微生物具有促进健康和降低退行性疾病发展风险的能力。在此背景下，本文的目的是讨论微藻产生的生物活性代谢产物在生命科学中的可能应用。
Microalgae are microorganisms that have different morphological, physiological, and genetic traits that confer the ability to produce different biologically active metabolites. Microalgal biotechnology has become a subject of study for various fields, due to the varied bioproducts that can be obtained from these microorganisms. When microalgal cultivation processes are better understood, microalgae can become an environmentally friendly and economically viable source of compounds of interest, because production can be optimized in a controlled culture. The bioactive compounds derived from microalgae have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities, among others. Furthermore, these microorganisms have the ability to promote health and reduce the risk of the development of degenerative diseases. In this context, the aim of this review is to discuss bioactive metabolites produced by microalgae for possible applications in the life sciences.
