This journal publishes research on algae, including microalgae and macroalgae, focusing on their diversity, biochemical composition, and biotechnological applications. Studies investigate algal growth, lipid production, and the presence of bioactive compounds like antioxidants and photoprotective agents. Research also explores the use of algae in aquaculture feeds, bioremediation, and as bioindicators, alongside their ecological roles and responses to environmental factors.
