520 |a Microalgae are sunlight driven single-cell factories for protein, lipids, carbohydrates, pigments, vitamins and minerals, etc. Microalgae have long been used as health food and additives for human consumption, as well as animal feed in aquaculture. Microalgae also prove to be beneficial to environmental cleanup such as bioremediation of industrial flue gases and waste water. Recently, owing to the demand of renewable energy, microalgal biofuels, biodiesel in particular, have attracted unprecedentedly interest. Also, microalgae emerge as promising hosts for the expression of recombinant proteins.Nevertheless, there are still tremendous challenges involved in the algae production pipeline such as strain improvement, mass cultivation, harvest and drying, biomass disruption, and recycling of water and nutrients, which have been impeding commercial application of microalgae in many different ways. The great opportunities lying ahead will be the innovations and breakthroughs occurred in microalgal biotechnology. This book brings together recent advances in microalgal biotechnology, dedicated to both the understanding of the fundamentals and development of industry-oriented technologies.
