Algae Are Some Of The Fastest Growing Organisms In The World, With Up To 90% Of Their Weight Made Up From Carbohydrate, Protein And Oil. As Well As These Macromolecules, Microalgae Are Also Rich In Other Highvalue Compounds, Such As Vitamins, Pigments, And Biologically Active Compounds, All These Compounds Can Be Extracted For Use By The Cosmetics, Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, And Food Industries, And The Algae Itself Can Be Used For Feeding Of Livestock, In Particular Fish, Where Ongoing Research Is Dedicated To Increasing The Percentage Of Fish And Shellfish Feed Not Derived From Fish Meal. Microalgae Are Also Applied To Wastewater Bioremediation And Carbon Capture From Industrial Flue Gases, And Can Be Used As Organic Fertilizer.So Far, Only A Few Species Of Microalgae, Including Cyanobacteria, Are Under Mass Cultivation. The Potential For Expansion Is Enormous, Considering The Existing Hundreds Of Thousands Of Species And Subspecies, In Which A Large Genepool Offers A Significant Potential For Many New Producers.Completely Revised, Updated And Expanded, And With The Inclusion Of New Editor, Qiang Hu Of Arizona State University, The Second Edition Of This Extremely Important Book Contains 37 Chapters. Nineteen Of These Chapters Are Written By New Authors, Introducing Many Advanced And Emerging Technologies And Applications Such As Novel Photobioreactors, Mass Cultivation Of Oilbearing Microalgae For Biofuels, Exploration Of Naturally Occurring And Genetically Engineered Microalgae As Cell Factories For Highvalue Chemicals, And Technoeconomic Analysis Of Microalgal Mass Culture. This Excellent New Edition Also Contains Details Of The Biology And Largescale Culture Of Several Economically Important And Newlyexploited Microalgae, Including Botryococcus, Chlamydomonas, Nannochloropsis, Nostoc, Chlorella, Spirulina, Haematococcus, And Dunaniella Species/Strains.Edited By Amos Richmond And Qiang Hu, Each With A Huge Wealth Of Experience In Microalgae, Its Culture, And Biotechnology, And Drawing Together Contributions From Experts Around The Globe, This Thorough And Comprehensive New Edition Is An Essential Purchase For All Those Involved With Microalgae, Their Culture, Processing And Use. Biotechnologists, Bioengineers, Phycologists, Pharmaceutical, Biofuel And Fishfeed Industry Personnel And Biological Scientists And Students Will All Find A Vast Amount Of Cuttingedge Information Within This Second Edition. Libraries In All Universities Where Biological Sciences, Biotechnology And Aquaculture Are Studied And Taught Should All Have Copies Of This Landmark New Edition On Their Shelves.
