AB Marine microbiota is garnering increasing interest as a potential source of novel foods with enhanced nutritionaland functional properties. In this study, the proximate composition and antioxidant capacity of five haloarchaeaand microalgae species from the Andalusian Atlantic shoreline (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloarcula hispanica,Dunaliella salina, C5 and C13, and Picochlorum spp) were compared to two freshwater species (Chlamydomonasreinhardtii and Chlorella sorokiniana). All the species studied exhibited high protein content and antioxidantactivity, with noticeable variations in total mineral content and fatty acid profile. Among the four extractionmethodologies tested to prepare functional extracts, forced aqueous extraction followed by protein hydrolysisresulted in significantly greater yields and antioxidant activity, while microalgae demonstrated higher activitycompared to haloarchaea tested in the present study. In conclusion, the diverse species examined displayed highnutritional and functional value, showing great potential to be part of the human diet as rich sources of readilyavailable protein and antioxidant compounds
