Commercial applications of microalgae [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2006 The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine. However, microalgal biotechnology only really began to develop in the middle of the last century. Nowadays, there are numerous commercial applications of microalgae.
