                  abstract = {Spirulina platensis, a filamentous cyanobacterium, has gained global recognition for its remarkable nutritional and therapeutic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the taxonomy, biology, and cultivation techniques of Spirulina, emphasizing its applicability in various sectors including health, food, cosmetics, and biofuels. The paper explores optimal growth conditions in natural and controlled environments and evaluates the nutritional profile, which includes high protein content, essential vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. Spirulina exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties, supporting its use as a nutraceutical and pharmaceutical agent. Its applications in aquaculture, livestock feed, and as a protein supplement further highlight its commercial and ecological potential. Moreover, advances in genetic engineering, sustainable cultivation, and biorefinery integration present promising prospects for expanding its utility. Despite environmental and economic challenges in large-scale production, Spirulina stands as a viable solution to global health, nutrition, and sustainability issues.},
