Abstract

In response to the global demand for sustainable protein sources, this study investigates the potential of microalgae as a renewable biomass for protein production using biochemical methods. Indigenous algal strains were isolated and cultivated under controlled conditions to optimize biomass yield and protein content. A combination of spectrophotometric assays, microscopy, and biochemical extraction techniques were employed to characterize and quantify protein levels. Parameters such as pH, light intensity, temperature, and nutrient availability were optimized to enhance productivity. The results demonstrated that under ideal growth conditions, microalgae could produce a significant amount of protein with high bio-sustainability and minimal environmental impact. This work highlights the applicability of algae-derived protein as a viable, eco-friendly alternative to conventional animal and plant-based protein sources, supporting the advancement of sustainable food systems and environmental biotechnology.
