This reference book covers the ecological impact and
biotechnological applications of diatoms. Diatoms contribute to
forty percent of primary productivity in aquatic ecosystems. They
have a unique biomonitoring ability and sensitivity towards
different pollutants in wastewater, thereby a tool for
ecotoxicological monitoring. The book discusses the need for newer
diatoms-based indices for wastewater quality analysis. It describes
the nutraceutical value of the myriad compounds like omega 3 fatty
acids-DHA, polysaccharides, phenols in diatoms. It also elaborates
on the challenges in sustainable diatom biorefinery. This book is
meant for microbiologists, biotechnologists, and marine biologists.
