				 Algae are eukaryotic microorganisms which contain chlorophyll and are capable of photosynthesis. In various studies,  Raman spectra have been used to identify a particular genus in a group of different types of algae. Each biomolecule has  its own signature Raman spectrum. This characteristic signal can be used to identify and characterize the biomolecules  in  algae.  Raman  spectrum  can  be  used  to  identify  the  components,  determine  the  molecular  structure  and  various  properties of biomolecules in algae. With this view, this work presents a comprehensive review of current practices  and advancements in Raman spectroscopy of Algae as well as in Raman spectroscopy of component biomolecules  of different genus of Algae. ..
