Overview
Algae and cyanobacteria belong to photosynthetic organisms responsible for primary production of the Earth. Algae are able to synthesize different compounds (phycocolloids and low-molecular metabolites, such as vitamins, glycosides, toxins, and photosynthetic pigments) which are applied and tested in biotechnology, pharmacy, and food industry. Many of algal metabolites are antioxidants and/or antimicrobial agents and therefore the application of these metabolites in pharmaceutical and biomedical research and development is discussed. In the present review, the compounds important for chemical industry and basic algal phenolic metabolites are described.
Key words:
algae – cyanobacteria – metabolites – phenols
