The cyanobacterial genus Arthrospira appears very conserved and has been divided into five main genetic clusters on the basis of molecular taxonomy markers. Genetic studies of seven Arthrospira strains, including genome sequencing, have enabled a better understanding of those photosynthetic prokaryotes. Even though genetic manipulations have not yet been performed with success, many genomic and proteomic features such as stress adaptation, nitrogen fixation, or biofuel production have been characterized. Many of above-mentioned studies aimed to optimize the cultivation conditions. Factors like the light intensity and quality, the nitrogen source, or different modes of growth (auto-, hetero-, or mixotrophic) have been studied in detail. The scaling-up of the biomass production using photobioreactors, either closed or open, was also investigated to increase the production of useful compounds. The richness of nutrients contained in the genus Arthrospira can be used for promising applications in the biomedical domain. Ingredients such as the calcium spirulan, immulina, C-phycocyanin, and γ-linolenic acid (GLA) show a strong biological activity. Recently, its use in the fight against cancer cells was documented in many publications. The health-promoting action of “Spirulina” has been demonstrated in the case of cardiovascular diseases and age-related conditions. Some compounds also have potent immunomodulatory properties, promoting the growth of beneficial gut microflora, acting as antimicrobial and antiviral. Products derived from Arthrospira were shown to successfully replace biomaterial scaffolds in regenerative medicine. Supplementation with the cyanobacterium also improves the health of livestock and quality of the products of animal origin. They were also used in cosmetic preparations.

SUMMARY This paper compares some important parameters obtained in the hydrogen production between the photosynthetic microorganisms Spirulina maxima 2342 and Scenedesmus obliquus 39. It is also reported the employment of hydrogen produced in this study (m3 s−1) in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) for electricity production. A comparison is also made between the electric current generated and the final dry biomass (mA mg−1) under specific experimental conditions. In this study, the electric current generated in the PEMFC for a period of 200 min under the light intensity of 150 µE m−2 s−1 and agitation was monitored. With the average current generated by the fuel cell the hydrogen produced by each microorganism is determined. The chromatography method was used to confirm the presence of hydrogen produced by each microorganism which was fed to the PEMFC. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…[76], Chlorella vulgaris [77], Nannochoropsis sp. [78], Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [79], Spirulina maxima [80], and Scenedesmus obliquus [77,81], are capable of generating molecular hydrogen through the photofermentative metabolism. Among the various species, Chlorella vulgaris is the most commonly used untreated substrate for hydrogen generation.…”

Human civilization will need to reduce its impacts on air and water quality and reduce its use of fossil fuels in order to advance towards a more sustainable future. Using microalgae to treat wastewater as well as simultaneously produce biofuels is one of the approaches for a sustainable future. The manufacture of biofuels from microalgae is one of the next-generation biofuel solutions that has recently received a lot of interest, as it can remove nutrients from the wastewater whilst capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The resulting biomass are employed to generate biofuels, which can run fuel cell vehicles of zero emission, power combustion engines and power plants. By cultivating microalgae in wastewater, eutrophication can be prevented, thereby enhancing the quality of the effluent. Thus, by combining wastewater treatment and biofuel production, the cost of the biofuels, as well as the environmental hazards, can be minimized, as there is a supply of free and already available nutrients and water. In this article, the steps involved to generate the various biofuels through microalgae are detailed.
