“…The great advantage of seaweeds in drug discovery is not only their enormous diversity of secondary metabolites presenting different bioactivities (Falkenberg et al, 2019), but also the possibility of their large-scale cultivation (de Oliveira Fernandes et al, 2017;Huang and Rorrer 2002;Rorrer et al, 1995) and utilizing green extraction technologies to obtain the desired secondary metabolites, as well as other bioproducts with biotechnological potential (Górka and Wieczorek 2017;Ospina et al, 2017;Prieto-Sandoval et al, 2018).…”

“…In order to obtain algae in large scale cultivation in open ponds, photobioreactors, or tanks applying integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) has been adopted (Rorrer et al 1995;Huang and Rorrer, 2002;Fernandes et al 2017). Although advantages and disadvantages in each of these cultivation methods exist, they definitely have changed the concept from the wild harvesting to the sustainable production of algae.…”

“…Additionally, cultivation can also promote the selection of germplasm of the desired algae in the laboratory and therefore their use as seed stock (Tomazela et al 2000). Thus, algae producing secondary metabolites important for human being can be generated as seeds in laboratory and then transferred to cultivation areas (Fernandes et al 2017).…”

To survive in a very competitive environment, marine macroalgae had to evolve defense strategies, resulting in an enormous diversity of compounds from different metabolic pathways. These secondary metabolites have been explored by the pharmaceutical industries in order to generate new drugs to treat several diseases. Recent publications in drug research from natural sources have indicated algae as an interesting choice to provide novel drugs to fulfill this gap. This review highlights algal metabolites that showed bioactivities suggesting their potential against neglected diseases. Drug discovery for neglected diseases has been overlooked by the Big Pharmas, mainly because they affect poor people, most of them living in developing countries. Moreover, this review shows the commercial application of the most explored chemicals from algae such as terpenes, phenols, quinones, macrolides, alkaloids, lipids, chromones, and other related metabolites and an overview regarding the status of green extraction technologies for seaweeds and their concepts.

“…[2][3][4], as many seaweed species display excellent growth rates and are rich in carbohydrates [1]. In addition, the use of seaweed as carbon dioxide tropical regions worldwide, and species belonging to this genus are important agar producers [12], with Crassiphycus birdiae being economically exploited for agar extraction [7,8,13].…”

Seaweed Production Potential in the Brazilian Northeast: A Study on the Eastern Coast of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, RN, Brazil

et al. 2020

Seaweed is a source of multipurpose bioresources, providing millions of dollars to the world’s economy and performing various ecosystem services that aid in maintaining marine balance, reducing eutrophication, providing nutrients and mitigating atmospheric CO2. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the potentialities of the cultivation of the Crassiphycus birdiae seaweed on the eastern coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brazil, considering the physical and environmental aspects. Estimates concerning suitable areas and their productive potential for the Biomass, Bioethanol, Biofertilizer and Agar bioproducts were carried out. These estimates were based on the Modular Ferry System (MFS) installed on the state coast. Suitable cultivation areas were determined by applying an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and change detection analysis based on physical and infrastructure factors, such as areas sheltered by winds, sea currents and waves, proximity to seaweed banks, road infrastructure and socioeconomic and environmental factors. Areas identified as suitable for seaweed cultivation totaled 2227.59 ha in area, with a productive potential of 195 thousand tons of fresh biomass/year, over two million liters of ethanol/year and about 43 tons of agar/year. These findings demonstrate that the northeastern coast of Brazil has the potential to generate employment and income through seaweed cultivation, stimulating the coastal region’s development in a sustainable manner.
