• Sommario/riassunto: This book delves into the realm of seaweed biotechnology, offering comprehensive insights into research, innovations, and emerging trends. It particularly highlights recent advancements in seaweed growth engineering, cultivation techniques, and the extraction of multiple bioproducts in a biorefinery fashion. Emphasizing the value addition of seaweed-derived bioproducts, the book also explores the translation of seaweed research into the establishment of seaweed-based startups. Major themes covered include strategies for growth engineering and year-round seaweed biomass production, technological advances in farming and land-based cultivation, biotechnological interventions for product development, and diverse applications in sectors such as food, feed, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and cosmeceuticals. Additionally, it examines seaweed biorefinery models for commercial sustainability and their potential contributions to environmental monitoring and remediation efforts. With a focus on fundamental biology and advanced technological interventions, this book encourages readers to explore the possibilities of macroalgae for societal benefits. It caters to university-level students of phycology, academics, practitioners in applied phycology, and aspiring entrepreneurs in the seaweed industry.
