Microalgae can be used to produce a novel, membranous, biogenic nanomaterial - Nanoalgosomes. 

Nanoalgosomes can be utilized as a new natural delivery system for a range of high-value microalgal substances, such as antioxidants, pigments, lipids, complex carbohydrates, bioactive biological molecules (e.g., proteins, miRNA, siRNA, mRNA, lncRNA, peptides) and/or synthetic drugs. 

Agrisera anti-H+ATPase antibodies, a marker of the plasma membrane, were used to characterize Nanoalgosomes, which has been experimentally demonstrated in a recent publication by Adamo et al. "Nanoalgosomes: Introducing extracellular vesicles produced by microalgae", J Extracell Vesicles. 2021 Apr; 10(6): e12081.
