Haematococcus Pluvialis has a growth cycle of 10-14 days. Diameter of 15-100 μ m, with three morphology of the cells: motile cells with flagella, green immobile spores, and red thick walled spores. In 2010, the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China issued Announcement No. 17, approving Haematococcus pluvialis as a new resource food. Haematococcus pluvialis are rich in astaxanthin, carotenoids, anthocyanins, lycopene, protein, vitamins, and more. Astaxanthin has antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, and preventive effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Introduction：

Chlorella is a single cell green algae with a diameter of 3-8 μ m and spherical or elliptical cells. Common types of Microalgae include protein nucleated microalgae, elliptical microalgae, and common microalgae. The production period of Chlorella pyrenoidosa is 7 days, while that of Chlorella vulgaris is 3 days.

Chlorella is rich in protein (50-60%), 18 types of amino acids, polysaccharides (10-20%), unsaturated fatty acids, and chlorophyll. Chlorella is also rich in the unique "Chlorella Growth Factor (Gene Repair Factor, abbreviated as CGF)".

3、Tribonema sp

（1）Cultivation of Tribonema sp；

（2）Oil extraction；

（3）Industry production technology；

（4）Research on animal feed formula, agricultural application, and water purification；

Introduction：

Tribonema sp.is a type of filamentous microalgae with a production period of 5-7 days. It is a globally distributed freshwater algae with relatively large filaments, measuring 0.5-3 mm in length. According to existing reports, there are 28 species, but only 17 species and 2 varieties in China. Tribonema is a microalgae rich in oil, with the highest oil content accounting for 61.27% of the dry weight. Among them, palmitoleic acid (C16:1 Δ 9) accounts for about 50% of the total fatty acid content. The fatty acid components of Tribonema sp. also contain EPA (C20:5 ω 3), which can account for 11.97% of the total intracellular fatty acid content. In addition, Tribonema sp. also have active substances such as polysaccharides (gold algae kelp, sulfate polysaccharides). It is a highly potential product for refining biodiesel and high value-added products.

4、Spirulina：

（1）Cultivation of Spirulina；

（2）Extraction of proteins (phycobiliproteins, phycocyanins)；

（3）Industry production technology；

（4）Research on animal feed formula of spirulina, Soil improvement, water purification；

Introduction：

Spirulina has a production period of 4-5 days. Currently, there are three main types of spirulina used for production both domestically and internationally: Spirulina platensis, Spirulina maxima, and Spirina subsala. Spirulina was approved as a registered raw material for health food in China in November 2020. Spirulina has high nutritional value, with protein content accounting for 60% to 70% of dry weight (mainly phycobiliprotein and phycocyanin), and is rich in rare nutrients such as vitamin B12 and iron, β - carotene, and  polysaccharides of spirulina found in plants.

5、Euglena：

（1）Cultivation of Euglena species；

（2）Extraction of Euglena polysaccharides (β -1,3-glucan)；

（3）Industry production technology；

（4）Food；

Introduction：

Euglena has a production period of 15 days. Currently, there is one main species used for production both domestically and internationally: Euglena gracilis. In May 2013, the National Health and Family Planning Commission issued a notice approving Euglena as a new resource food raw material for sale and consumption in China. Euglena have high nutritional value and are rich in lipids, with a content of up to 20% of dry weight. There are up to 13 types of fatty acids in Euglena, with unsaturated fatty acids accounting for about 50%, including important long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), arachidonic acid (AA), some of which only exist in fish. This means that Euglena plants have valuable industrial resource potential; Naked algae have high levels of protein and are a good source of protein. During the growth process of Euglena, a large amount of secondary starch can be accumulated as an energy storage substance, accounting for 50% -90% of the dry weight of Euglena. Naked algae also contain a special active polysaccharide, β -1,3-glucan.

6、Schizophyllum：

（1）Cultivation of species；

（2）Extraction of DHA algal oil from Schizophyllum；

（3）Industry production technology；

（4）Research on animal feed formula and Food additives from Schizophyllum；

Introduction：

The production period of Schizochytrium can range from a few days to a week depending on the cultivation method, sometimes even longer. According to the announcement of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China (No. 3 of 2010) Seven items including DHA algae oil and cottonseed oligosaccharides were approved as new resource foods, the diatom has successfully entered the public eye. Schizochytrium are rich in nutrients, with high protein and lipid content, as well as other trace elements, which have high feeding value. The oil also contains strong antioxidant astaxanthin. Due to the highest proportion of DHA in the fatty acids produced by the cultivation of Schizochytrium, it is currently commonly used as a functional additive.
