The undertaking of a microalgae cultivation, alone or in combination with other microorganisms, requires from the beginning challenging and high-impact choices for the development of the project. These range from the choice of algae typology (autotrophic, heterotrophic, mixed), and strains, to the systems used, and finally to the strategies, for example whether to focus on the extraction of the substances of interest or on the use of the entire biomass.
