This book covers biotechnology and applications of diatoms
including various applications like the use of diatom biogenic
silica in drug delivery and their cultivation for wastewater
remediation. It contains case studies in diatom biorefinery and
provides information about the bioactive compounds, antioxidants,
and lipids from diatoms. It also discusses the latest innovations
in the genetic engineering of diatoms. Key Features - Discusses the
applications of diatoms in drug delivery Covers the application and
cultivation of diatoms for wastewater bioremediation Describes the
innovations and gaps in genetic engineering of diatoms Throws light
on the lipid content, antioxidant content, and various bioactives
compounds present in diatoms Includes extraction technologies in
diatoms The book is meant for academicians and microbiologists,
biotechnologists, and marine biologists.
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.
