This book presents the latest developments and recent research
trends in the field of plankton, highlighting the potential
ecological and biotechnological applications. It critically and
comprehensively discusses strain selection, growth characteristics,
large-scale culturing, and biomass harvesting, focusing on the
screening and production of high-value products from algae, and
evaluating carbon dioxide sequestration from fuel gas as a climate
change mitigation strategy. The latter areas of research are
clearly central to the sustainable development approach that is
currently attracting global attention. Over the decades, much of
the literature on has focused on the biological and ecological
aspects of phytoplankton found in freshwater, marine and brackish
water environments. However, these organisms are known to also
inhabit various other environments. More recently, there has been a
substantial shift toward the concept of sustainable development and
the "green economy" with emphasis on exploiting biological systems
for the benefit of mankind. The significance of these plankton
cannot be underestimated as they contribute approximately 40% of
the oxygen in the atmosphere. Therefore, there is potential for
exploitation of this invaluable biomass source that could lead to
significant environmental and economic benefits for man. Providing
a comprehensive outline of the most recent developments and
advances in the field of industrial applications of these plankton,
this book is an excellent reference resource for researchers and
practitioners.
