Description
Algal Culturing Techniques is a comprehensive reference on all aspects of the isolation and cultivation of marine and
freshwater algae, including seaweeds. It is divided into seven parts that cover history, media preparation, isolation and purification
techniques, mass culturing techniques, cell counting and growth measurement techniques, and reviews on topics and applications of algal
culture techniques for environmental investigations.
Algal Culturing Techniques was developed to serve as both a new
textbook and key reference for phycologists and others studying aquatic systems, aquaculture and environmental sciences. Students of
algal ecology, marine botany, marine phycology, and microbial ecology will enjoy the hands-on methodology for culturing a variety of
algae from fresh and marine waters. Researchers in industry, such as aquaculture, pharmaceutical, foodstuffs, and biotechnology companies
will find an authoritative and comprehensive reference.
Audience
Scientists, industry professionals, and students who study or grow algal cultures for research or commercial purposes. Libraries, aquaculturists, biotechnologists, governmental scientists, etc.
