Sommario/riassunto

This book assembles state-of-the-art approaches for harnessing light energy as a model to develop natural systems such as biofuels. After the basics and potential of photosynthesis of microalgae it discusses topics from engineering micro-algae towards increased photosynthetic efficiency till the optimization of photobioreactor techniques for



enhanced biotechnological applications such as cyanobacteria.
