NEXT-GENERATION ALGAE The book comprehensively details the novel
and biologically active compounds derived from algae for
sustainable healthcare delivery that could be used for the
treatment of an ever-increasing population, prevention of high rate
of morbidity rates, as well as in the treatment of numerous
diseases, and serve as an alternative drug for the prevention of
high level of resistance to synthetic drugs. This second volume
places a special emphasis on the discovery of novel and
biologically active compounds from algae. It covers a wide range of
applications, including the use of astaxanthin and carotenoids
derived from algae for the production of nutraceuticals,
pharmaceuticals, additives, food supplements, and feed. The book
also discusses the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs) and their biomedical applications, recent advancements in
the research of sulfated polysaccharides from algal origin, and
their antiulcer bioactivities. Other topics include the application
of algae in wound healing, the use of nanotechnology for the
bioengineering of useful metabolites derived from algae and their
multifaceted applications, and the production of single-cell
proteins and pigments with high relevance in the industry. Audience
Researchers in industry and academia as well as clinicians in the
fields of microbiology, biotechnology, and food science will find
this book very pertinent.
NEXT-GENERATION ALGAE This book brings together experts in relevant
fields to describe the successful application of algae and their
derivatives in agriculture, improving agricultural sustainability,
harvesting and processing, food security, fishery, aquafarming,
agriculture pollution, and state-of-the-art developments of algae
in commercial and agriculture utilization. This book provides
up-to-date and cutting-edge information on the application of algae
in producing sustainable solutions to various challenges that arise
from an increase in agricultural production, as well as its
utilization in the bioremediation of industrial wastewater.
Moreover, the book provides detailed information about the recent
advancements in smart microalgae wastewater treatment using
Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing applications. Other
topics covered include the use of microalgae in various
applications; the use of algae to remove arsenic; algae’s role in
plastic biodegradation, heavy metal bioremediation, and toxicity
removal from industrial wastewater; the application of DNA transfer
techniques in algae; the use of algae as food and in the production
of food, ascorbic acid, health food, supplements, and food
surrogates; relevant biostimulants and biofertilizers that could be
derived from cyanobacterials and their role in sustainable
agriculture; and algae’s application in the effective production
of biofuels and bioenergy. Audience This book is aimed at a diverse
audience including professionals, scientists, environmentalists,
industrialists, researchers, innovators, and policymakers who have
an interest in bioremediation technologies for extremely polluted
environments, especially in water, air, and soil.
