This
book deals with an interdisciplinary approach towards present-day
practical challenges and recent developments in algal biotechnology and
covers a broad spectrum of issues ranging from diverse algae and its
applications in agriculture, human food, animal feed, wastewater
treatment, and industry to algal metabolites. Major themes covered in
this volume include algae-based processes for the treatment of
industrial effluents, algal biorefinery, industrial trends, and
applications of algae in food, feed, nutraceuticals, and
pharmaceuticals.
Features:
- Explores the possibility of utilization of algae in human food and pharmaceutical compounds.
- Presents recent state of the art of design and tools in algal biorefineries.
- Reviews concepts of membrane bioreactors and microbial fuel cells, including their process and performance.
- Algae-based technologies for safe and eco-friendly processes to promote a sustainable bio-economy.
- Discusses algae as a source for potential aquafeed.
This
book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biotechnology,
bioenergy , renewable energy, energy, fuel and petrochemicals,
wastewater, novel technologies, clean technologies, bioremediation
environmental biotechnology, functional foods and nutraceuticals, and
marine and aquatic science.
