such as in the sea, rivers, lakes, soil, in animal, and plants. Algae represent a potential
biomass to be explored as a source to develop bioplastics because algal biomass is
abundant, fast-growing, and unexploited resource often left to decompose on the shores
posing waste problems. Low percentage of lignin and high percentage of carbohydrates
make algae an excellent candidate for the synthesis of bioplastics. Blue-green algae are …
