2009; Creswell, 2010).It is a member of the enormous algae group, and can be found colonizing a wide range of habitats; freshwater, marine, and brackish water, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and some exceptional microalgae can propagate in wastewater (Khan et al., 2018; Ilavarasi et al., 2011; Scholz & Liebezeit, 2012). Taxonomically, there are approximately 80,000 species of microalgae (Parvin et al., 2007) classified into distinct groups comprise of diatoms (bacillariophyta), dinoflagellates (dinophyta), green and yellow-brown flagellates (chlorophyta; prasinophyta; prymnesiophyta, cryptophyta, chrysophyta, and rhaphidiophyta) and blue-green algae (cyanophyta) (El Gamal, 2010).Yet, miniature in size plays a momentous role in the self-sustaining and functional ecosystem on earth; microalgae act as the primary producer in the interconnected food
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
