Algal Green Chemistry: Recent progress in Biotechnology

Algal Green Chemistry: Recent Progress in Biotechnology presents emerging information on green algal technology for the production of diverse chemicals, metabolites, and other products of commercial value. This book describes and emphasizes the emerging information on green algal technology with special emphasis on the production of diverse chemicals, metabolites, and products from algae and cyanobacteria. Included is an integrated approach to their possible biotechnological applications in the fields of environmental biotechnology, green energy, and various aspects of agricultural as well as biomedical research and biochemical industries. A number of topics featured in the book are exceedingly valuable for researchers and scientists in the field of algal green chemistry and are not covered in academic studies. This book is a unique source of information for scientists, researchers, and biotechnologists who are looking for the development of new technologies for bioremediation, eco-friendly and alternative renewable energy or biofuels, biofertilizers, biogenic biocides, bioplastics, cosmeceuticals, sunscreens, antibiotics, anti-aging and an array of other biotechnologically important chemicals for human life and their contiguous environment. This book will be a great asset for students, researchers, and biotechnologists.
