Inhalt:
This book treats the biological fundamentals of microalgal biotechnology and provides an overview of applications and products. It includes a survey of the state-of-the-art in process engineering of algae cultivation mass production, advanced technologies in closed photobioreactors, genetic manipulation and bioprocess engineering. Contributions from academia and industrial case studies make this book a comprehensive survey of current progress in microalgae biotechnology. This book will be of interest to active people in biology, biotechnology, and engineering.
