Preface
In the past few decades, algal technologies have been one of the extensively studied fields of biological sciences for numerous environmental, biological, biomedical, and industrial applications. Microalgae are one of the simplest photosynthetic life forms which have an amazing potential of growing in very harsh environmental conditions. Microalgae hold amazing potential for the sequestration of various nutrients from water as well as carbon dioxide from the air. These organisms hold great potential required for sustainable development and management of food, fodder, and fuels. Algal biomass can be used for the production of food and chemicals, bioremediation of several pollutants, and synthesis of biofuels. Further, microalgae have a capacity to produce polymers, fatty acids, enzymes, and toxins, which can be useful for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical developments.
