Characteristic
Chlorella is a group of eukaryotic green microalgae with a high capacity for photosynthesis. It is widely distributed in freshwater, marine and terrestrial environments and can grow rapidly in autotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions. Even under unfavorable and variable conditions, such as light or temperature stress, Chlorella is highly productive. It has been widely used in aquaculture, food, cosmetics and even fuel industries due to its high level of protein and rich carotenoids, vitamins and minerals.

Health Benefits
Chlorella is a good source of many nutrients, such as protein, carbohydrates, fiber, chlorophyll, vitamins, and more. Due to its nutritional composition, the health benefits it can exert include but are not limited to the following.
Applications
Chlorella is one of the most commonly used microalgae in aquaculture due to its wide range of nutrients and high digestibility properties. For example, supplementation of Chlorella in feed can improve immune response to pathogens and infections, thereby increasing the survival rate of fish and shrimp.
Chlorella is a food source due to its high content of protein and other essential nutrients. The high protein content of Chlorella allows it to be used as an emulsifier. Polysaccharides from Chlorella, such as agar and alginate, can make it play a thickening and gelling role. In addition, natural coloring from Chlorella have been found to improve the stability of color parameters with better texture.
Chlorella has been widely used in the cosmetic industry for its unique characteristics. It can be used as an antioxidant, sunscreen, thickener, skin sensitizer, moisturizer, thereby improving the ability of skin to resist damage and anti-sunburn. In addition, chlorella extract can also stimulate the skin collagen production, thereby reducing wrinkles and slowing down the aging process.
Due to the energy crisis and public interest in green and renewable fuels, Chlorella has been described as a promising candidate for the raw materials needed to produce biofuels. Firstly, Chlorella grows rapidly, requires little or no arable land and has the potential to attenuate the greenhouse effect. In addition, Chlorella is capable of accumulating large amounts of lipids, especially after nitrogen starvation with a fatty acid profile suitable for biodiesel production.
