""Algae are mysterious and fascinating organisms that hold great potential for discovery and biotechnology.""

—Dr. Thierry Tonon, Department of Biology, University of York

""Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.""

—A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

In this book, we emphasize the importance of algal biotechnology as a sustainable platform to replace the conventional fossil-based economy. With this focus, Volume 2 summarizes the up-to-date literature and knowledge and discusses the advances in algal cultivation, genetic improvement, wastewater treatment, resource recovery, commercial operation, and technoeconomic analysis of algal biotechnology.

FEATURES

Discusses in detail recent developments in algae cultivation and biomass harvesting

Provides an overview of genetic engineering and algal-bacteria consortia to improve productivity

Presents applications of algae in the area of wastewater treatment and resource recovery

Provides case studies and technoeconomic analysis to understand the algal biorefinery
