Algal biotechnology for bioenergy, environmental remediation and high-value biochemicals
Algae are one of the most primitive life forms and most abundant on earth. They consist of one or more of eukaryotic cells containing chlorophyll. It may be a single cell, colonies, filament of cells, or as in the kelp, simple tissues. The cell doubling time is typically 1-2 days, and under optimal...
