Historias de Marinemicroalgae

Demand for the biofuel very exceeds the supply, so alternative sources of biomass are required. It refers to fuel produced from once-living organisms. Usually, it is used for running vehicles or supplying electrical power via a diesel generator. Much extensive research is conducted for the use of algae as a potential source of biodiesel because of the plentiful resources of Marine Microalgae Biomass in freshwater and other marine sources. In many countries throughout the world, the cultivation of algae or algaculture is carried out at large scale for the production of biodiesel. The important fuels synthesized from algae oil are biogas, biodiesel, bioethanol, biobutanol and dry algal fuel (similar to coal) such as the group algae aviation fuel has created.

In India, the major seagrass meadows existed along the southeast coast and in the lagoons of islands from Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea to Andaman and Nicobar in the Bay of Bengal. Along with natural threats such as cyclones, and waves, for threats to seagrass in India are intensive grazing and infestation of fungi and epiphytes, as well as "die-back" disease. Increased sediment load in the overlying waters of seagrass meadows, reduces the amount of ambient light, thus resulting in lower productivity of algae due to the decline in photosynthetic processes and increased respiration.
