“…Итак, представители микроводорослей вырабатывают нейромедиаторы и/или реагируют на их добавление в среду. В перспективе стимулирующее рост влияние ряда нейротрансмиттеров -например, серотонина, дофамина, норадреналина, гистамина [38,39], ацетилхолина и таурина [5,28,29] -на микроводоросли может лечь в основу новых методов увеличения выхода биомассы водорослей и производства полиненасыщенных жирных кислот, хлорофиллов, углеводов, белков и других биотехнологически ценных соединений.…”

“…Многие нейротрансмиттеры выполняют коммуникативные и регуляторные функции у представителей различных типов животных, растений, грибов, простейших [2][3][4]. В недавнем обзоре [5] мы охарактеризовали нейротрансмиттеры как коммуникативные агенты, которые участвуют в регуляции функционирования целых экосистем (экомоны [5][6][7]).…”

Apart from their functions in the nervous system of animals, neurotransmitters operate as regulatory agents and signals in diverse kingdoms of life. Many neurotransmitters at low concentrations exert specific effects on microalgae, predominantly functioning as algal growth stimulators. Neurotransmitters that promote microalgal biomass accumulation and enhance the synthesis of lipids, polysaccharides, and other valuable products are of much potential biotechnological interest in terms of projects aimed at producing “algal” drugs and food additives, as well as biodiesel and other kinds of biofuel. Some microalgal species synthesize their own neurotransmitters and/or facilitate their synthesis by the symbiotic microbiota in the gastro-intestinal tract and, therefore, are expected to promote human physical and mental health. Microalgae can exert neuroprotective effects; nevertheless, many microalgae produce toxins affecting the functioning of the nervous system.

“…Biogenic amines (norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, histamine, etc.) bring about specific responses such as growth stimulation and accelerated development of microalgal cultures exemplified by Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus quadricauda, and a number of other species [ 66 – 71 ].…”

“…Such precursors include 2,3-dihydrophenylalanine (DOPA), the catecholamine precursor, and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), the serotonin precursor [ 29 , 30 , 39 ]. Of much interest in this context is the fact that many algal species (exemplified by representatives of Chlorophyta , Charophyta , Ochrophyta , Rhodophyta ) synthesize significant amounts of dopamine, serotonin, histamine, tyramine, acetylcholine, and other neurotransmitters [ 66 ]; such algae are to be envisaged as potential probiotics, and they could be used to improve the functioning of the brain, promote mental health, and treat brain disorders, e.g., Parkinson’s disease associated with dopamine deficiency in the substantia nigra of the brain.…”

Green, red, brown, and diatomic algae, as well as cyanobacteria, have been in the focus of attention of scientists and technologists for over 5 decades. This is due to their importance as efficient and economical producers of food additives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biofertilizers, biofuels, and wastewater bioremediation agents. Recently, the role of microalgae has increasingly been considered in terms of their probiotic function, i.e., of their ability to normalize the functioning of the microbiota of humans and agricultural animals and to produce biologically active substances, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and immunostimulators. A separate brief subsection of the review deals with the potential functions of microalgae with respect to the brain and psyche, i.e., as psychobiotics. Moreover, algal polysaccharides and some other compounds can be broken down to short fragments that will stimulate the development of useful intestinal microorganisms, i.e., function as efficient prebiotics. Finally, many components of microalgal cells and chemical agents produced by them can exert important health-promoting effects per se, which indicates that they are as potentially valuable metabiotics (the term preferred by late Prof. B.A. Shenderov), which are alternatively denoted as postbiotics in the literature.
