Microalgae are a valuable resource of carbon materials that may be
used in biofuels, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and health
supplements. Still, there are tremendous challenges in the
microalgae production process, such as mass cultivation, strain
improvement, biomass disruption, and reprocessing of nutrients and
water that have been the encumbering microalgal industry in several
ways. Microalgal biotechnology has the capability to introduce
remarkable breakthroughs and innovations. This volume brings
together current advancements in the field of microalgal
biotechnology to provide understanding of the fundamentals and
progress of the industry-oriented technologies. The volume covers
biofuel production and its technical challenges; current trends of
microalgae in agriculture, aquaculture and food biotechnology;
market space; biosafety and other regulatory issues; and
sustainability of microalgal products. The volume first provides
insight into desmids and other conjugating algae along with
prospective trends of diatoms. It then goes on to explore the
commercial applications of microalgae that take advantage of their
bioactive compounds, natural colorants, and functional metabolites.
The role of microalgae in agriculture, aquaculture, and the food
sector are discussed, and tools from genome manipulation to
bioprocess engineering are studied. Several chapters focus on
future prospects of biofuel and biodiesel production for
environmental and economic viability. The key features of the book:
Presents the role of microalgae in various industries including
food, agriculture, aquaculture, biofuel, and metabolites Shows the
historical and prospective use of microalgae elements for economic
and ecological benefits Explains the integrated technologies for
massive production of microalgae-derived products Includes the
various industrial case studies to improve the sustainable
production of microalgae products Discusses current developments
and confronts in microalgae bioprocessing Microalgal Biotechnology:
Bioprospecting Microalgae for Functional Metabolites towards
Commercial and Sustainable Applications will be a useful reference
for academicians, researchers, industry professionals, postgraduate
students, and policymakers who are interested in future prospects
of microalgae commercialization.
