Microalgae are a large diverse group of microorganisms comprising photoautotrophic protists and prokaryotic cyanobacteria—also called blue-green algae. These microalgae form the source of the food chain for more than 70% of the world's biomass. Photosynthetic prokaryotes called cyanobacteria have been used in enhancing human health. Due to solubility issues, only 10% of the microalgal bioactive components have made it to commercial platforms. A novel method for creating new cancer treatments may include using nanoformulations that contain a wide range of nanoparticles. Cyanobacteria and microalgae can be transformed into a variety of products of commercial significance, including biofuels, cosmetics, renewable chemicals, and other important molecules, as well as animal and human food, particularly as sources of proteins, lipids, and phytochemicals. The production of cyanobacteria in artificial and natural environments has been fully exploited. In this review the use of cyanobacteria and microalgae, production processes are discussed in it.
