Microalgae are a group of single-celled, photosynthetic
microorganisms. They are of great commercial interest as they are
capable of producing biomass (with a vast array of biochemical)
using sunlight, CO2 and various other naturally occurring
nutrients. Correctly utilised, they have the potential to provide
sustainable supply of commercially relevant biochemicals, biofuels,
nutraceuticals, food and feed supplements. The field of microalgal
biotechnology is a fast-paced area of research, with technologies
coming ever closer to commercial viability. Microalgal
Biotechnology consolidates the latest research in the field
together with a look at market potential and policy considerations.
Highlighting the huge potential of microalgae as commercial
commodities, it covers progress on various fronts including;
bio-refinery and its technological challenges, genetic engineering,
biosafety and regulatory issues, open and closed photo-bioreactors
for biomass production, market space and sustainability for algal
products. This book is a useful resource for researchers,
academicians, postgraduate students, industries, policy makers and
anyone interested in the status and future possibilities of
microalgae commercialisation.
