“…Polar lipids mainly encompass glycolipids and phospholipids, which are intended to form cell membranes, providing structural support to cells and their organelles. Apolar lipids include free fatty acids, whether saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), or polyunsaturated (PUFA), triacylglycerol (TAG), and sterols, which serve as a source and storage of energy 84–89 . Fatty acids are the main source of lipids in microalgae 84 …”

Photoautotrophic microorganisms, such as microalgae and cyanobacteria, are known to perform an essential role in ecological functions. Besides, they are considered cell factories, producing various bioproducts of commercial interest. In mangroves, these microorganisms are primarily responsible for the ecosystem's high productivity. Moreover, the unique natural characteristics of mangroves, coupled with the intense pressure from anthropic activities that these ecosystems typically experience, make mangrove photoautotrophic microbiota biotechnologically attractive. In this work, the ecological role and biotechnological potential of photoautotrophic mangrove microorganisms worldwide were evaluated, highlighting, their ecosystem services and bioproducts with environmental and commercial appeal, as well as their strategic and technological application through patent analysis.

Two-dimensional Fe 3 O 4 nanodisks (NDs) and nanosheets (NSs) were prepared from the thermal transformation of α-Fe 2 O 3 NDs and NSs, respectively. As a shape-controlling additive, the Al 3+ concentration controlled their sizes and disk-or sheet-like morphologies. Analyses of α-Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 NDs and NSs reveal anisotropic nanoarchitectures of highly crystalline hematite and magnetite domains, respectively. Magnetic hysteresis showed that α-Fe 2 O 3 NDs and NSs were weak superparamagnetic, while Fe 3 O 4 NDs and NSs were soft ferrimagnetic. The magnetic harvesting of microalga Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) using Fe 3 O 4 NDs and NSs was demonstrated, resulting in a harvesting efficiency (HE) of >∼95% at less than 1 min of incubation. The efficient extraction of astaxanthin (ATX) from H. pluvialis was demonstrated through the laceration of the cell wall by Fe 3 O 4 NDs and NSs under mild ultrasonications. ATX extraction efficiencies (EEs) of up to ∼83% with minimal cellular damage under <10 min of mild ultrasonication were obtained using Fe 3 O 4 NSs. The potential recycling feasibility of Fe 3 O 4 NDs and NSs was assessed by measuring their HE and EE after five magnetic recovery and regeneration cycles using scrubbing procedures. This study revealed a synergistic enhancement of the HE and EE by integrating magnetic nanomaterial-based harvesting and extraction, offering novel process solutions for highly efficient microalgal biorefineries.
