Algae Biotechnology: Integrated Algal Engineering for Bioenergy, Bioremediation, and Biomedical Applications covers the key applications of algae for bioenergy and how to integrate the production of biofuels with environmental, nutraceutical, and biomedical processes and products. The book emphasizes cost-effective biofuels production through integrated biorefinery, combining continuous processes and various algae as feedstock to produce biofuel, bioenergy, and various high value biochemicals. Novel algal culturing technologies and bioprocess engineering techniques are provided for the optimization of operational approaches for commercial-scale production, as well as to reduce the overall costs. New and existing molecular methods for genetic and metabolic engineering of algae are also presented. Furthermore, methods for the optimization of existing biochemical pathways are explained, and new pathways are introduced, in order to maximize the potential for biofuels production and related nutraceutical and biomedical co-products. Algae Biotechnology: Integrated Algal Engineering for Bioenergy, Bioremediation, and Biomedical Applications provides a roadmap for bioenergy researchers and engineers to incorporate valuable nutraceutical and biomedical products, and environmental practices, into the production of biofuels and will be of interest to anyone working in the field of bioenergy seeking to scale-up, optimize, or reduce the costs of biofuel production.
