Biotechnologies for bulk production of microalgal biomass: from mass cultivation to dried biomass acquisition
Open accessAbstract
Microalgal biomass represents a sustainable bioresource for various applications, such as food, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, feed, and other bio-based products. For decades, its mass production has attracted widespread attention and interest. The process of microalgal biomass production involves several techniques, mainly cultivation, harvesting, drying, and pollution control. These techniques are often designed and optimized to meet optimal growth conditions for microalgae and to produce high-quality biomass at acceptable cost. Importantly, mass production techniques are important for producing a commercial product in sufficient amounts. However, it should not be overlooked that microalgal biotechnology still faces challenges, in particular the high cost of production, the lack of knowledge about biological contaminants and the challenge of loss of active ingredients during biomass production. These issues involve the research and development of low-cost, standardized, industrial-scale production equipment and the optimization of production processes, as well as the urgent need to increase the research on biological contaminants and microalgal active ingredients. This review systematically examines the global development of microalgal biotechnology for biomass production, with emphasis on the techniques of cultivation, harvesting, drying and control of biological contaminants, and discusses the challenges and strategies to further improve quality and reduce costs. Moreover, the current status of biomass production of some biotechnologically important species has been summarized, and the importance of improving microalgae-related standards for their commercial applications is noted.

Open systems are generally used for more resilient species such as Arthrospira spp., Chlorella spp., and Dunaliella spp., which can tolerate extremes of salinity or pH and reduce contamination pressure.
“Open systems are generally used for more resilient species, such as Arthrospira spp., Chlorella spp., and Dunaliella spp., which can tolerate extremes of salinity or pH and reduce contamination pressure.”
From Microalgae biotechnology and its role in sustainable and healthy food design (2025) · cites this paper as Qin et al., 2023
The “Challenges of open pond systems” section identifies Arthrospira, Chlorella, and Dunaliella as commercially cultivated in open ponds and says their cultivation conditions can be hostile to competitors. It gives high salinity for D. salina and high pH for A. platensis, but describes Chlorella as a rapidly growing dominant species, not as tolerant of either extreme. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredArthrospira platensis tolerates alkaline conditions.
“For instance, Dunaliella salina thrives in saline environments, whereas Arthrospira platensis tolerates alkaline conditions (Qin et al., 2023).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
