Photosynthetic Improvement of Industrial Microalgae for Biomass and Biofuel Production

Photosynthesis is a process of assimilating carbon dioxide into organic carbons utilizing energy from the sun, during which oxygen is generated. This process thus supports all life on earth by providing food and oxygen. More importantly, it produces bioma

Preface

As the largest scale chemical reaction, photosynthesis supplies all of the organic carbon and oxygen for life on Earth. It is estimated that more than 50% of the primary production and molecular oxygen on Earth are by the photosynthetic activity of microorganisms. This book highlights recent breakthroughs in the multidisciplinary areas of microbial photosynthesis. The chapters feature the most recent developments in microbial photosynthesis research, from bacterial to eukaryotic algae, from theoretical biology to structural biology and biophysics. Furthermore, the book also features the latest advancements in artificial photosynthetic. Contributed by leading authorities in photosynthesis research, Microbial Photosynthesis will offer a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the field. Furthermore, it will be of great significance for the study of biological evolution and the origin of life. Kaifeng, Henan, China
