Preface
The meteoric growth of the human population and their ever-increasing thirst for natural resources are posing several appalling threats to the environment as well as to mankind. The post-industrialization era witnessed various anthropogenic activities. Eutrophication, heavy metal contamination, and acidification resulted in polluting large freshwater bodies. Therefore, it is imperative to search for alternative resources to satisfy human needs within environmental limits. From this perspective, algae could provide a solution to meet our energy demands and other value-added products in a sustainable manner. The edited volume “Algae: Multifarious Applications for a Sustainable World” is a compilation of useful characteristics of algae with reference to its innovative natural products. It covers the present and future prospects of algal biofuel, algaederived pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, bioremediation of heavy metals, and algae-mediated nanoparticle synthesis. Furthermore, this
