This book covers the state-of-the-art of microalgae physiology and biochemistry (and the several -omics). It serves as a key reference work for those working with microalgae, whether in the lab, the field, or for commercial applications. Research on microalgae has expanded enormously since then, as has the commercial exploitation of microalgae.

The present book entitled Seaweeds of India - The Diversity and Distribution of Seaweeds of Gujarat Coast is a timely publication based wholly on primary data. The authors collected nearly 200 species of seaweeds belonging to 100 genera of Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta.

This book covers the key steps in the production of renewable biofuels from microalgae - strain selection, culture systems, inorganic carbon utilisation, lipid metabolism and quality, hydrogen production, genetic engineering, biomass harvesting, extraction.

The edited volume provides an important companion to anyone studying or working with what is the world's largest cultivated marine plant biomass. The book provides a number of valuable opinions on value addition and MUZE technologies which highlight value-chains associated with these important red algae.
