Microalgae and macroalgae possess great potential in various fields of application. Microalgae are ubiquitous and extremely diverse microorganisms that can accumulate toxic contaminants and heavy metals from wastewater, making them a superior candidate to become a powerful nanofactory. Algae were discovered to reduce the presence of metal ions, and afterwards aid in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Since algae-mediated biogenic nanoparticles are eco-friendly, cost-effective, high-yielding, speedy and energy-efficient, a large number of studies have been published on them in the last few years. This book focuses on recent progress on the utilization of algae for the synthesis of nanoparticles, their characterization and the possible mechanisms involved. Bioprospecting Algae for Nanosized Materials describes the synthesis of algal nanomaterials and its application in various fields for sustainable development. This book outlines the procedures to prepare phyconanomaterials, techniques to utilize the nanomaterials, and applications in agriculture, environment and medicine. 410 0$aNanotechnology in the Life Sciences,$x2523-8035 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiology$xTechnique 606 $aBioremediation 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiological Techniques 606 $aEnvironmental Biotechnology 606 $aMicroalgues$2thub 606 $aMaterials nanoestructurats$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aBiology$xTechnique. 615 0$aBioremediation. 615 14$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aBiological Techniques. 615 24$aEnvironmental Biotechnology. 615 7$aMicroalgues 615 7$aMaterials nanoestructurats 676 $a579.8 676 $a620.115 702 $aThangadurai$b Devarajan$f1976- 702 $aSangeetha$b Jeyabalan 702 $aPrasad$b Ram 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910548186403321 996 $aBioprospecting algae for nanosized materials$92921969 997 $aUNINA
