“…In this framework, thermophilic microalgae and cyanobacteria have been extensively studied (Patel et al 2019). The halophile Dunaliella salina is used as a natural source of b-carotene (Santos et al 2001, Arakawa et al 2012, Varshney et al 2015, while Arthrospira platensis, a filamentous alkaliphilic cyanobacterium living in hypersaline lakes (Berry et al 2003), is employed as food and feed additive in human and animal nutrition (Varshney et al 2015). Spolaore et al (2006) reported that Arthrospira is used in human nutrition because of its high protein content, its excellent nutritive value, and various possible health-promoting effects such as the alleviation of hyperlipidemia and suppression of hypertension.…”

Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that use sunlight as an energy source, and convert water, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts into algal biomass. The isolation and selection of microalgae, which allow one to obtain large amounts of biomass and valuable compounds, is a prerequisite for their successful industrial production. This work provides an overview of extremophile algae, where their ability to grow under harsh conditions and the corresponding accumulation of metabolites are addressed. Emphasis is placed on the high‐value products of some prominent algae. Moreover, the most recent applications of these microorganisms and their potential exploitation in the context of astrobiology are taken into account.
