商品描述
Algae are some of the fastest growing organisms in the world, with up to 90% of their weight made up from carbohydrate, protein and oil. As well as these macromolecules, microalgae are also rich in other high-value compounds, such as vitamins, pigments, and biologically active compounds, All these compounds can be extracted for use by the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries, and the algae itself can be used for feeding of livestock, in particular fish, where on-going research is dedicated to increasing the percentage of fish and shellfish feed not derived from fish meal. Microalgae are also applied to wastewater bioremediation and carbon capture from industrial flue gases, and can be used as organic fertilizer.
So far, only a few species of microalgae, including cyanobacteria, are under mass cultivation. The potential for expansion is enormous, considering the existing hundreds of thousands of species and subspecies, in which a large gene-pool offers a significant potential for many new producers.
Completely revised, updated and expanded, and with the inclusion of new Editor, Qiang Hu of Arizona State University, the second edition of this extremely important book contains 37 chapters. Nineteen of these chapters are written by new authors, introducing many advanced and emerging technologies and applications such as novel photobioreactors, mass cultivation of oil-bearing microalgae for biofuels, exploration of naturally occurring and genetically engineered microalgae as cell factories for high-value chemicals, and techno-economic analysis of microalgal mass culture. This excellent new edition also contains details of the biology and large-scale culture of several economically important and newly-exploited microalgae, including Botryococcus, Chlamydomonas, Nannochloropsis, Nostoc, Chlorella, Spirulina, Haematococcus, and Dunaniella species/strains.
Edited by Amos Richmond and Qiang Hu, each with a huge wealth of experience in microalgae, its culture, and biotechnology, and drawing together contributions from experts around the globe, this thorough and comprehensive new edition is an essential purchase for all those involved with microalgae, their culture, processing and use. Biotechnologists, bioengineers, phycologists, pharmaceutical, biofuel and fish-feed industry personnel and biological scientists and students will all find a vast amount of cutting-edge information within this Second Edition. Libraries in all universities where biological sciences, biotechnology and aquaculture are studied and taught should all have copies of this landmark new edition on their shelves.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
藻類是世界上生長最快的生物之一,其重量中高達90%由碳水化合物、蛋白質和油脂組成。除了這些大分子外,微藻還富含其他高價值化合物,如維生素、色素和生物活性化合物。所有這些化合物都可以被提取用於化妝品、製藥、營養補充品和食品行業,而藻類本身也可以用於飼養牲畜,特別是魚類,目前的研究致力於提高不以魚粉為來源的魚類和貝類飼料的比例。微藻還應用於廢水生物修復和工業煙氣中的碳捕集,並可用作有機肥料。
到目前為止,只有少數幾種微藻,包括藍藻,正在進行大規模培養。考慮到現有的數十萬種和亞種,擴展的潛力是巨大的,因為龐大的基因庫為許多新生產者提供了顯著的潛力。
這本極其重要的書籍的第二版經過全面修訂、更新和擴展,並新增了編輯喬強·胡(Qiang Hu),來自亞利桑那州立大學,包含37章內容。其中19章由新作者撰寫,介紹了許多先進和新興技術及應用,如新型光生物反應器、油脂微藻的大規模培養以用於生物燃料、探索自然存在和基因工程微藻作為高價值化學品的細胞工廠,以及微藻大規模培養的技術經濟分析。這本優秀的新版本還包含了幾種經濟重要和新開發的微藻的生物學和大規模培養的詳細信息,包括Botryococcus、Chlamydomonas、Nannochloropsis、Nostoc、Chlorella、Spirulina、Haematococcus和Dunaniella物種/菌株。
由阿莫斯·里士滿(Amos Richmond)和喬強·胡(Qiang Hu)編輯,他們在微藻的培養和生物技術方面擁有豐富的經驗,並匯集了來自全球專家的貢獻,這本全面而徹底的新版本是所有與微藻、其培養、加工和使用相關的人士必備的書籍。生物技術專家、生物工程師、藻類學家、製藥、生物燃料和魚飼料行業人員以及生物科學家和學生都能在這本第二版中找到大量前沿信息。所有教授和研究生物科學、生物技術和水產養殖的高校圖書館都應該在書架上擁有這本具有里程碑意義的新版本。
