Abstract

This article explores the multifaceted role of algae in biotechnology, highlighting their applications in biofuel production, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, environmental management, and agriculture. It discusses the advantages of algae as a sustainable resource due to their rapid growth, high biomass yield, and rich biochemical composition. The article also examines future prospects, including advances in genetic engineering, scalable cultivation technologies, and expanding market applications. Challenges facing commercial-scale utilization are addressed, emphasizing the need for continued research and innovation. Overall, algae are presented as a promising component of sustainable biotechnological solutions to global environmental and economic challenges.
