Summary:is a unicellular eukaryote between animal and plant cells, which is widely distributed in nature. . has both plant and animal characteristics, and can grow photoautotrophically, heterotrophically and mixotrophically. . also features on abundant and various cellular composition. Recently, extensive researches on unique cellular components of . have revealed its application in the field of medicine, food, and feedstuff, in terms of improving immunity, fighting inflammation, and lowering uric acid levels. The application prospects of paramylon in biomedical area were also discovered. As food ingredients, food additives, feedstuffs and cosmetic ingredients, . has been certified domestically and overseas. A series of products have been developed overseas, especially in Japan. However, the research and development of . are still in its infancy in China, and there is huge space for development. At present, the research and potential application of cultivation and product functions of . have been rarely reviewed. Thi
