Energy from microalgae: A short history -- 2. Algal lipids and their metabolism -- 3. Hydrogenases, nitrogenases, anoxia, and H2 production in water-oxidizing phototrophs -- 4. Species and strain selection -- 5. Limits to phototrophic growth in dense culture: CO2 supply and light -- 6. Genetic engineering to improve algal biofuels production -- 7. Photobioreactors for microalgae biofuel production -- 8. Open pond culture systems -- 9. Wastewater treatment and algal biofuel production -- 10. Harvesting, thickening and dewatering microalgae biomass -- 11. Solvent extraction for microalgae lipids -- 12. Production and properties of biodiesel from algal oils -- 13. Energy considerations of photobioreactors -- 14. Greenhouse gas balance and algae-based biodiesel -- 15. Techno-economic modelling for biofuels from microalgae -- 16. Basic methods for measuring algae growth and composition.Microalgae are one of the most studied potential sources of biofuels and bioenergy. 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.  Greenhouse gas and techno-economic modelling are reviewed as is the 100 year history of microalgae as sources of biofuels and of commercial-scale microalgae culture. A summary of relevant basic standard methods used in the study of microalgae culture is provided. The book is intended for the expert and those starting work in the field.Developments in Applied Phycology ;5Environmental managementRenewable energy resourcesMarine sciencesFreshwaterEnvironmental engineeringBiotechnologyEnvironmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Renewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Marine & Freshwater Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000Environmental Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000Environmental management.Renewable energy resources.Marine sciences.Freshwater.Environmental engineering.Biotechnology.Environmental Management.Renewable and Green Energy.Marine & Freshwater Sciences.Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology.660.6662.88Borowitzka Michael Aedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMoheimani Navid Redthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910437854503321Algae for Biofuels and Energy2513109UNINA
