"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 emphasise the importance of algal biotechnology as a sustainable platform to replace the conventional fossil-based economy. With this focus, Volume 2 summarizes up-to-date literature 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
