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 a special emphasis on the production of diverse chemicals, metabolites, and products from algae and cyanobacteria.

Topics featured in the book are exceedingly valuable for researchers and scientists in the field of algal green chemistry, with many not covered in current academic studies. It is a unique source of information for scientists, researchers, and biotechnologists who are looking for the development of new technologies in bioremediation, eco-friendly and alternative 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 is a great asset for students, researchers, and biotechnologists.

Zielgruppe

<p>chemical and biochemical engineers, biotechnologists, agricultural chemists and environmental engineers associated with the development of algal biotechnology in academic/government and industrial resaerch. The contents of the book can be used as a textbook by graduate/postgraduate students, teachers, and researchers.</p> <p>Algal biotechnology has been introduced and established as a specialized course of study/research worldwide at school/university level, and introduction of this book would be of great advantage to add new information related to recent biochemical products or technology from algae or cyanobacteria.</p>
