Innovative strategies for utilizing microalgae as dual-purpose biofertilizers and phycoremediators in agroecosystems.
Review in Biotechnology reports (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The increasing need for sustainable agricultural practices due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers has prompted interest in microalgae as biofertilizers. This review investigates the potential of microalgae as biofertilizers and phycoremediators within sustainable agroecosystems, addressing both soil fertility and wastewater management. Microalgae provide a dual benefit by absorbing excess nutrients and contaminants from wastewater, generating nutrient-rich biomass that can replace chemical fertilizers and support plant growth. Implementation strategies include cultivating microalgae in wastewater to offset production costs, using closed photobioreactor systems to enhance growth efficiency, and applying microalgal biomass directly to soil or crops. Additionally, microalgae extracts provide essential bioactive compounds, such as phytohormones and amino acids, that enhance plant growth and resilience. While microalgae offer an eco-friendly solution for nutrient recycling and crop productivity, challenges in scalability, production cost, and regulatory frameworks hinder widespread adoption. This review highlights the potential pathways and technological advancements necessary for integrating microalgae into sustainable agriculture, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative approaches to overcome these barriers. Ultimately, microalgae biofertilizers represent a promising approach to reducing environmental impact and advancing sustainable farming practices.
