Short description:

It introduces microalgae and algal biotechnology including applied biotechnology, bio-remediation, nano applications, multidimensional usages of algae as a biofertilizer, and source of bio-active compounds and phytochemicals. Major themes include algae & environment, bio-remediation, algal-omics, and applications, bioprocesses for cultivation.

Long description:

This book initiates with a general introduction to microalgae and algal biotechnology with subsequent discussions on all the significant aspects of applied biotechnology, bio-remediation, nano applications, multidimensional usages of algae as a biofertilizer, and a source of bioactive compounds and phytochemicals. Major themes of the book include algae and the environment, bio-remediation using algae, algal-omics and applications, and large-scale bioprocesses for algal cultivation, its constraints and challenges.



Features:




  • Focusses on the importance of algae for a sustainable environment.



  • Covers algal bioplastics and other commercial products.



  • Explores possible utilization of algae in phyco/bioremediation.



  • Reviews algae as a biostimulant and biofertilizer.



  • Demonstrates challenges during algal cultivation on a large scale.


This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biotechnology, bioenergy, renewable energy, energy, fuel and petrochemicals, wastewater, novel technologies, clean technologies, bioremediation environmental, functional foods and nutraceuticals, marine and aquatic science.
