“…Because of high production cost, it is only used for high-value plant products or for flavorings and colorings. 22,23 Using plant stem cells, Rischer and others were able to produce various lingonberry raw materials such as powders, patties, and extracts. 18 Ultimately, this would expand the number of plant-based proteins that could be used to offer a more realistic and economic method of production as cellular agriculture has the possibility of developing pure proteins without byproducts.…”

With a growing population that is expected to double meat consumption in the next decades, more sustainable and affordable proteins need to be developed. Conventional meat production accounts for a considerable amount of greenhouse gas emission, land and water usage, and energy consumption. Plant-based meat alternatives have been a cornerstone in the alternative protein market. In recent years, biomimicry of traditional meat products is the focus on the market. Animal-raised meat has still maintained its popularity as plant-based meat analogues (PBMA) fail to mimic or be better than conventional meat production. PBMA aims to replicate the aesthetic and chemical characteristics of a type of meat without the need of raising animals. Another alternative is the novel cultured meat or "lab-grown meat" that could provide a high protein source. Considerable developments are still needed to produce complex cultured meat products. Because of difficulties of replicating meat proteins in PBMA, a proposition is to use cultured meat components in PBMA. We review the potential use of cellular agriculture in different facets of PBMA for improved sensorial attributes. There is a significant need for research, innovation, and regulation in this field to create an improved product that has a lower impact on the environment.

Marine algae are one of the largest producers of biomass in the marine environment. They produce a wide variety of chemically active metabolites in their surroundings, potentially as an aid to protect themselves against other settling organisms. These active metabolites, also known as biogenic compounds, produced by several species of marine macro- and micro-algae, have antibacterial, antialgal, antimacrofouling and antifungal properties, which are effective in the prevention of biofouling, and have other likely uses, e.g. in therapeutics. The isolated substances with potent antifouling activity belong to groups of fatty acids, lipopeptides, amides, alkaloids, terpenoids, lactones, pyrroles and steroids. These biogenic compounds have the potential to be produced commercially using metabolic engineering techniques. Therefore, isolation of biogenic compounds and determination of their structure could provide leads for future development of, for example, environmentally friendly antifouling paints. This paper mainly discusses the successes of such research, and the future applications in the context of understanding the systems biology of micro-algae and cyanobacteria.
