“…In these processes, there is a range of active microorganisms, including microalgae. In this context, it underlines the importance of bioprospecting new strains and species of microalgae not only with environmental and ecological purposes, as the treatment of effluents and biosorption of toxic metals (Mezzomo et al, 2010;Schmitz et al, 2012) and CO 2 biofixation (Morais and Costa, 2007), but also applications of economic interest, as the productions of lipids (Xu et al, 2006) and biofuels (Xu and Mi, 2011). In addition, bioprospecting of species is a preponderant factor for the knowledge of the local biodiversity and for the local sustainable development, besides avoiding the introduction of exotic species.…”

The great biodiversity of the Serra da Bodoquena is the result of years of biological evolution. A complex combination of natural factors allows aquatic plants, fish and invertebrates to coexist in absolutely crystalline water springs. Together, organisms form an intricate web of life, connecting a single-celled microalga with large river predators. For better knowledge of the biodiversity of microalgae, an important tool is the bioprospecting and study of novel species, avoiding as much as possible the introduction of exotic species. Thus, the aim of this work was bioprospecting microalgae species from Bonito, MS, Brazil, in order to obtain more information about the local microbial biodiversity. Freshwater samples were collected from two lakes of the municipality. The samples were plated in Basic Basal medium added of bacteriological agar. After plating, the samples were kept in a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) oven at 25ºC with photoperiod for growth. After isolation of the obtained colonies, the identification of the species was carried out according to the morphological characteristics of cells. Despite the long periods for adaptation, seven microalgae taxa were successfully isolated from the samples collected, four at the genus level and three at the species level; one from the Trebouxiophyceae class, five from the Chlorophyceae class and one from the Bacillariophyceae class.

“…São microrganismos fotossintéticos com requerimentos nutricionais relativamente simples e cuja biomassa pode ser empregada para obtenção de biocompostos com aplicações nutricionais (HENRIKSON, 1994) e de saúde (AMBROSI et al, 2008). Ainda, tem sido relatada a sua aplicação em tratamento de efluentes (MEZZOMO et al, 2010) , em processos de biossorção (TEDESCO, 2011, DAL MAGRO et al, 2011, DAL MAGRO et al, 2012) e na produção de biocombustíveis (ANDRADE e COSTA, 2008).…”

“…Muitos efluentes podem conter grande quantidade de matéria orgânica, ou ainda apresentar altas concentrações de metais tóxicos, representando um grave problema para o meio ambiente (DAL MAGRO et al, 2011). Mezzomo et al (2010) utilizaram efluente de suíno, rico em fósforo e nitrogênio inorgânicos, para a produção de biomassa de microalga Spirulina platensis, no qual verificaram que a cultura de Spirulina em efluente suíno demonstrou a possibilidade do seu uso na remoção de DQO e fósforo, além da produção de biomassa, podendo ser uma possível solução para o impacto ambiental gerado pela descarga de efluentes em fontes naturais. O estudo destacou que a biomassa produzida pode ser adicionada a rações de peixes, os quais podem ser utilizados na formulação de produtos cárneos.…”

“…Nesses processos, existe uma gama de micro-organismos atuantes, como bactérias (CHEN et al, 2009), fungos (AKAR e TUNALI, 2006) algas e microalgas (SARAVANAN et al, 2009). Neste cenário, destaque tem sido dado às microalgas de diversas espécies, as quais tem sido utilizadas em estudos de tratamento de efluentes e biossorção de metais tóxicos (MEZZOMO et al, 2010;DAL MAGRO et al, 2012), biofixação de CO 2 (MORAIS e COSTA, 2007) e produção de biocombustíveis (XU e MI, 2011).

RESUMOAs microalgas tem sido foco de muitos estudos nos últimos anos tendo em vista sua grande aplicabilidade na indústria de alimentos e farmacêutica, nas áreas da biomedicina e ambiental. As aplicações ambientais das microalgas incluem a biofixação de CO 2 , remoção de matéria orgânica e metais tóxicos de efluentes, produção de biocombustíveis como biodiesel e bioetanol e na produção de moléculas de origem lipídica com capacidade surfactante entre outros. Dentre as microalgas estudadas, a Spirulina platensis tem apresentado grande potencial de utilização em todos esses setores com destaque especial na área ambiental. Objetivou-se revisar as principais aplicações ambientais dos cultivos microalgais, com ênfase para a microalga Spirulina platensis. Palavras-chave: microalgas; aplicações ambientais; Spirulina platensis. ABSTRACTMicroalgae have been focus of many studies in recent years due to its wide applicability in food and pharmaceutical industries and in biomedical and environmental areas. The environmental applications of microalgae include the biofixation of CO 2 , in the removal of organic matter and toxic metals from wastewater, in the biofuels production, as biodiesel and bioethanol, and in the production of lipid molecules with surfactant activity, among others. Among the studied microalgae, Spirulina platensis has shown great potential in all these sectors with particular emphasis in the environmental area. The objective was to review the main environmental applications of microalgae cultures, with emphasis on Spirulina platensis.

The microalga Spirulina has been marketed in many countries due to its application in foods, especially for its high protein content, which can be used to obtain protein hydrolysates. Protein hydrolysates are easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and have significant physiological properties, because during the hydrolysis process, peptides with antioxidant activity can be obtained. The objective of this study was to obtain enzymatic hydrolysates from the biomass of Spirulina sp. LEB 18 with functional properties and antioxidant potential. This study was a 2 2 type central composite design, to determine the best conditions for obtaining hydrolysates. The hydrolysis reactions of Spirulina biomass were carried out using the enzyme Protemax 580 L. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the proteins resulted in increased digestibility, solubility, water-retention capacity and antioxidant activity of hydrolysates (which increased by 1.8, 2.8 and 8.5 using the reducing power methods, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2' azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), respectively). Therefore, biologically active peptides of Spirulina sp. LEB 18 biomass were produced.
