ABSTRACT
Background: Among the large spectrum of marine organisms, microalgae are able to produce a wide diverse compounds through different pathways. These bioactive compounds give them a large number of applications in various fields such as human nutrition, aquaculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetics or biodiesel production. In Morocco, the study of marine microlagae for their bioactive potential has gained strength in recent years. Moreover, Morocco has a great potential for algae culture due to its specific geographical position and to its favorable climatic conditions. Objective: Thus, in the aim to isolate marine microalgae from the Atlantic Ocean (South of Morocco), several samples were collected from different locations (Agadir, Anza, Naïla Lagoon and Laâyoune). Fourteen strains were purified, identified and classified using morphological features. Methods: Microalgae isolation was done by the combination of two techniques: serial dilution and streaking. Purified marine microalgae strains were identified using their morphological features. Results: Diatoms were the most abundant among the isolated species (57%), followed by green algae (36%) then dinoflagellates (7%). Conclusion: The diatoms and green algae such Navicula sp., Chaetoceros sp., Nitzschia sp., Chlorella sp. and Dunaliella sp. present diverse applications. Hence the interest of the microalgae that we have isolated in this work.
Keywords: Marine microalgae, diatoms, green algae, Morocco.
