Microalgae can be future resource for industrial biotechnology In
current energy crisis era, microalgae are under tremendous research
focus for the production of biodiesel due to their high
photosynthetic efficiency, growth rate and high lipid content
compared to territorial plants. However, the large-scale production
of algal biomass and downstream processing of harvested algae
towards bio-fuels are facing several challenges from economic
viability perspective. Apart from bio-fuels, the microalgae
synthesize number of bio-molecules such as pigments (e.g.,
chlorophyll, carotenoid), protein (e.g., lectin, phycobiliprotein),
and carbohydrates (e.g., agar, carrageenan, alginate, fucodian)
which are available in the various forms of microalgal products.
Therefore, developing a strategy for large-scale production and use
of algal biomass for the co-production of these value-added
macromolecules is thus imperative for the improvement of the
economics of algal biorefinery. In the above context, this book
covers three major areas (i) commercial-scale production of
bio-molecules from microalgae, (ii) sustainable approach for
industrial-scale operation, and (iii) optimization of downstream
processes. Each of these sections is composed of several chapters
written by the renowned academicians/industry experts. Furthermore,
in this book, a significant weightage is given to the industry
experts (around 50%) to enrich the industrial perspectives. We hope
that amalgamate of fundamental knowledge from academicians and
applied research information from industry experts will be useful
for forthcoming implementation of a sustainable integrated
microalgal biorefinery. This book highlights following. Explores
biomolecules from microalgae and their applications Discusses
microalgae cultivations and harvesting Examines downstream
processing of biomolecules Explores sustainable integrated
approaches for industrial scale operations Examines purification
techniques specific for microalgal proteins, Omega 3 fatty Acids,
carbohydrates, and pigments
