Earth’s resources and can meet today’s energy, food and environmental needs, we have to develop innovative
biotechnological solutions that are incorporated into our community’s actions and reflections. Such
innovations are usually perceived as enhancement in agricultural productivity or protection, ways to diminish
the use of pesticides, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, creation of an innovative disease therapy,
etc. In this chapter we will focus on microalgal cell factories used as a chassis for biotechnological solutions
for needed innovations. Microalgae have evolved and developed adaptation mechanisms to profit
in a wide range of ecological niches that are usually not optimized for the production of valuable compounds
or acting as mitigation agents even though they have that capacity. To overcome these limitations,
dictated by natural genetic optimization during a long process of evolution it is necessary to identify ways
to improve the capacity of these microorganisms to produce valuable compounds or to perform desired
functions. Innovations developed by CzechGlobe researchers during recent years that combine advanced
experimental techniques together with systems biology approaches to investigate various microorganisms
and their interactions with the environment, are discussed. Perspectives on the use of these innovations for
the design of adaptive strategies and technological solutions supporting the sustainable use of resources
are further outlined. Our particular focus is in the area of technologies that aim to reduce and mitigate the
impacts of global change.Workplace Global Change Research Institute Contact Nikola Šviková, svikova.n@czechglobe.cz, Tel.: 511 192 268 Year of Publishing 2017
