Abstract

This study comprehensively reviews various facets of Euglena sp., encompassing its distribution, characteristics, nutritional values, commercialization opportunities, and conservation status. Studying distribution patterns provides valuable information on the various habitats where Euglena sp. can be found, enhancing our knowledge of its biological range. Thorough examinations of its morphological and physiological traits offer a detailed depiction of this microbe. Uncovering Euglena sp.'s nutritional values reveals its potential as a rich source of proteins, lipids, and essential vitamins, positioning it as a promising candidate for applications in the food, feed, pharmaceuticals, and biofuel industries. The review finds and discusses potential commercialization opportunities based on Euglena sp.'s valuable attributes. Notably, the absence of a specific conservation status emphasizes the need for broader conservation measures, recognizing the ecological significance of microorganisms in ecosystem dynamics. This research contributes to a holistic understanding of Euglena sp., offering valuable insights for ecological, biotechnological, and conservation considerations.
