Handbook of Marine Macroalgae - Biotechnology and Applied Phycology

Informationen zum Autor Professor Se-Kwon Kim is the Director of the Marine Bioprocess Research Center, Department of Chemistry, Pukyong National University, in Busan, South Korea. Klappentext Handbook of Marine Macroalgae: Biotechnology and Applied Phycology describes the biological, biotechnological and industrial applications of seaweeds. Vast research into the cultivation of seaweeds is currently being undertaken but there is a lack of methodological strategies in place to develop novel drugs from these sources. This book aims to rectify this situation, providing an important review of recent advances and potential new applications for macroalgae. Focussing on the chemical and structural nature of seaweeds the book brings the potentially valuable bioactive nature to the fore. Novel compounds isolated from seaweeds are reviewed to provide an invaluable reference for anyone working in the field.* Comprehensive handbook covering current applications of macroalgae to biotechnology* Covers recent advances as well as future research trends* Authored by an international team of experts* Describes the barriers and opportunities for commercialization of macroalgae biotechnology* Includes applications of macroalgae biotechnology to a wide range of disciplines, including immunology, neurobiology, agriculture, nutrition and industry. Zusammenfassung The Handbook of Macroalgae: Biotechnology and Applied Phycology describes the biological, biotechnological and the industrial applications of seaweeds. Vast research into the cultivation of seaweeds is currently being undertaken but there is a lack of methodological strategies in place to develop novel drugs from these sources.
