| Description | Arctic under present climatic changes brings new opportunities for industrial developments (oil and gas resources, fish and fisheries management, shipping in the Arctic ocean, etc.). Urbanisation and development all technological support for humen life is one of the most glabolly urgent tast for future. Low temperature biotechnology and explore the biotechnological potential of polar and other low temperature adapted cyanobacteria and microalgae (micro-algae), which can produce valuable metabolites in Central European non-summer and Arctic conditions is great challenge for Czech Science. Microalgae and cyanobacteria are a rich source of bioactive molecules with many potential uses such as components in human/animal nutrition, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, biopesticides, phytohormones, etc. Many of metabolites from microalgae have been shown to possess varied bioactivities. Microalgal bioactive molecules thus hold a bright and promising future in scientific research including a great opportunity for drug discovery. In proposed lecture, the non-marine environmental conditions in Arctic environments and microalgal adaptations will be introduced with respect to possible biotechnological applications. The presentation also provides a survey of the possible compounds to be exploited from Arctic microalgae. Possible constructions of photobioreactors for mass cultivation of microalgae are proposed for operations in the Arctic. Fri_372_BE-5_1696, pp. 2313 |
