The utilization of unconventional microbial sources, particularly microalgae, for the production of feed, food, food additives, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals is growing in importance. Research in the field is expanding worldwide. The author presents a state-of-the-art account of research in algal production and utilization. The book explores in detail all steps of the subject, from the preparation of stock cultures to the growth in large outdoor ponds. Dr Becker provides a compilation of the different methods employed worldwide for the artificial cultivation of different microalgae, including recipes for culture media, description of outdoor and indoor cultivation systems as well as harvesting and processing methods. The book will be essential reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the field.
