Microalgae (lichen symbionts and free-living): The group has innovative methodologies for isolation, molecular identification, propagation, studies of metabolic compounds, etc. of lichen microalgae. It also has an important collection of microalgae from Mediterranean environments "ASUV, Colección de Microalgas Simbióticas de la UV (https://www.asuvalgae.com/". All this enables the analysis of metabolic compounds (original or transformation) for biotechnological applications for various purposes such as sources of lipids, carotenoids and other compounds for nutraceutical applications, cosmetics, natural fertilisers and generation of types of biofuels.
