Abstract: Marine microalgae and their extracts, in recent years, have found applications, including use as biofuels, medicines and food. Recently, alkenones, a unique chain of long-chain lipids, extracted from Isochrysis microalgae, has emerged as a useful by product. This is the first review that summarizes the potential applications and limitations of alkenones use in paleoclimatology, biofuel, personal care industry and therapeutics.
