"Handbook of Microalgal Culture" is truly a landmark publication,
drawing on some 50 years of worldwide experience in microalgal mass
culture. This important book comprises comprehensive reviews of the
current available information on microalgal culture, written by 40
contributing authors from around the globe.
The book is divided into four parts, with Part I detailing
biological and environmental aspects of microalgae with reference
to microalgal biotechnology and Part II looking in depth at major
theories and techniques of mass cultivation. Part III comprises
chapters on the economic applications of microalgae, including
coverage of industrial production, the use of microalgae in human
and animal nutrition and in aquaculture, in nitrogen fixation,
hydrogen and methane production, and in bioremediation of polluted
water. Finally, Part IV looks at new frontiers and includes
chapters on genetic engineering, microalgae as platforms for
recombinant proteins, bioactive chemicals, heterotrophic
production, microalgae as gene-delivery systems for expressing
mosquitocidal toxins and the enhancement of marine productivity for
climate stabilization and food security.
"Handbook of Microalgal Culture" is an essential purchase for
all phycologists and also those researching aquatic systems,
aquaculture and plant sciences. There is also much of great use to
researchers and those involved in product formulation within
pharmaceutical, nutrition and food companies. Libraries in all
universities and research establishments teaching and researching
in chemistry, biological and pharmaceutical sciences, food sciences
and nutrition, and aquaculture will need copies of this book on
their shelves.
