Beskrivning
Algae Classification and Species delivers a detailed overview of freshwater and marine algal diversity. It provides an essential introduction to the study of phycology with broad applications in diverse biological and biotechnological fields. Written and edited by a global team of experts in the field of phycology, this book is organized according to major algal taxa, including green, red, and brown macroalgae, benthic and planktonic algae, blue-green algae, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and microalgae. Chapters are structured to provide readers with a sweeping understanding of the breadth of marine algae, including their principal characteristics, evolution, phylogeny, distribution, preservation, and more.

This book is designed to provide a complete, legible review of algal diversity. It is a valuable resource for researchers, biotechnologists, and students interested in developing their understanding of basic algal biology.

  • Delivers a complete review of algal diversity
  • Describes major marine and freshwater micro- and macroalgal taxa
  • Outlines the principal characteristics, evolution, phylogeny, distribution, and preservation of each taxon

Pau Loke Show is the Director of the Center of Excellence for Research, Value Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CERVIE), UCSI University, Malaysia. He received his BEng in Process and Food Engineering in 2010 and PhD in Bioprocess Engineering at Universiti Putra Malaysia in 2012. He has also been affiliated with Khalifa University and the University of Nottingham Malaysia as a Professor of Biochemical Engineering. His research focuses on biochemical engineering, bioprocessing and sustainable applications of biotechnology, with particular interest in algae-based technologies. He has held leadership roles in professional and international bioprocessing organizations and has extensive experience in academic and research collaboration. He is also a Professional Engineer and Technologist and he holds many memberships with engineering and higher-education organizations in Malaysia and the UK. Kit Wayne Chew is an Assistant Professor at the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. He obtained his PhD from the University of Nottingham in 2019, where he began his research in sustainable bioprocess engineering for food and pharmaceutical products. His current research focuses on algae biotechnology and the development of cost-effective and environmentally friendly methods for synthesizing functional ingredients. His research interests include sustainable bioprocessing and the utilization of algae for value-added applications.Kuan Shiong Khoo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan, where he leads the Algae Bioseparation Research Laboratory. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia in 2018 and his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham Malaysia in 2021. His research focuses on both upstream and downstream processing in microalgal biotechnology and biorefinery. His research also integrated areas including the closed-loop recycling of food waste for biochar and biohydrogen production, microalgae cultivation using wastewater, and AI-driven modelling for data analysis and image processing. Wai Yan Cheah is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre of Research in Development, Social and Environment (SEEDS), Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia. She obtained her BSc in Industrial Biology in 2008 from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Master of Environment in 2011 from Universiti Putra Malaysia and PhD in the field of Biotechnology from Universiti Malaya, Malaysia in 2019, where she began her research on microalgae, biorefineries and wastewater management. Her current research focuses on wastewater cultivation and microalgae-based biorefinery applications, including the production of biofuels, bioplastics and other value-added metabolites. Her work contributes to the development of sustainable approaches for integrating microalgae cultivation with wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
