“…Microalgae fix CO 2 through photosynthesis for carbon sequestration, and some produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) that improve soil structure [41]. Because of their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) and, more importantly, their ability to solubilize the immobilized pools of phosphorus (P), cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are referred to as biofertilizers [42]. Furthermore, microalgae may be grown on nutrient-rich effluents, helping to accumulate excessive nutrients that can be recycled for plant growth at a lower rate than chemical fertilizers [43].…”

“…[93,206,207]. Microalgal biomass is also considered as a slow-release biofertilizer [208]. Furthermore, the addition of microalgae as biofertilizer could enhance the soil organic content [209].…”

“…Indeed, it has been shown that microalgae can be beneficial to aquaculture, as they provide a rich source of micronutrients, lipids and proteins essential for fish farming [55]. Furthermore, different microalgae species can improve soil quality, promote atmospheric nitrogen fixation and produce plant growth hormones [56]. Saadaoui and collaborators [57] have reported a positive effect of applications of algae-based biofertilizer on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivation.…”
