Microbial Exopolysaccharides: An Integrated Approach to Green Applications provides a comprehensive overview of natural exopolysaccharides (EPS) obtained from different microbial species and marine resources. Featuring contributions by an interdisciplinary group of experts in academia, research, and industry, this book offers a detailed introduction and exploration of natural microbial exopolysaccharides. It offers detailed discussions on topics such as the extraction and characterization of EPS, their role in health-promoting formulations and probiotic potential, their utilization in therapeutics, their use in food technologies and packaging, and their impact in the environmental and medical sectors.The book offers in-depth insights into the principles of EPS and their wide range of applications as sustainable solutions to challenges in the food, health, environmental, and biotechnology sectors.With a focus on green technology and sustainable practices, this book offers cost-effective utilization of natural EPS, their application in diverse sectors, and serves as an informative resource for those interested in the innovative application of natural bio-macromolecules.Emphasizes the significance of the structural classification of exopolysaccharides derived from microbes, algae, cyanobacteria, and marine resources for applications in diverse industriesDiscusses green extraction methods for EPS, focusing on yield optimization, process efficiency, and eco-friendly practices to enhance sustainabilityInvestigates and evaluates EPS for their nutraceutical and therapeutic potential, and for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-biofilm, tissue regenerating, prebiotic, probiotic, and wound healing propertiesExplores how the natural biomolecules of exopolysaccharides are utilized in various applications such as food technology, food packaging, biofertilizers, biopesticides, 3D bioprinting, bio-adsorbents, and biosensors for theragnostic purposes

This new two-volume book describes the current advances and emerging issues in the use of algal biomass in the fields of bioenergy, food science, pharmaceutical drugs, and environmental engineering, with special emphasis on metabolic engineering and synthetic biological involvement to ameliorate efficacy of algal biomass towards sustainable solutions.The volumes explore the most recent advances and prospects of micro- and macroalgae in the fields of biotechnology, microbiology, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, biochemical engineering, and systems biology for the creation of algal cell factories. The books cover a broad spectrum of algal biomass technology for value-added products and for the recycling of environmental pollutants. The volumes focus on metabolic engineering and synthetic biological involvement to improve the efficacy of algal biomass for sustainability, placing detailed emphasis on micro- and macroalgae functional diversity toward production, harvesting, and application. An updated and comprehensive theory on the use of algal biomass toward improving value-added product synthesis, application, and scaling up toward industrial sustainability is also included.Volume 1 elaborates on the impact of process parameters and phytohormones to improve algal biomass generation in the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and agriculture industries, providing consideration of the engineering, biological design, and applications of algal biomass along with relevant implementations. Chapters include a review on potential aspects of algal biomass and the sustainable usage of algal biomass for food processing, nutraceutical production, pharmaceutical applications, and more.Volume 2 focuses on sustainable biorefinery methods based on algae for the treatment of wastewater, for desalination, for bioenergy production, for lignocellulosic waste biomass utilization, and for environmental bioremediation. It also covers the connections between traditional and cutting-edge technologies, emphasizing the production of all types of algal biomass (including macro- and microalgae), with a focus on the bioengineering component. This volume places emphasis on two key areas: engineering implications and biological sciences implications.Together, these volumes provide a wealth of practical information on algal biomass technology and research that will be of interest and use to researchers, scientists, industry professionals, and faculty and students in fields that include microbiology, biotechnology, food technology, bioengineering, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, pharmaceutical sciences, agricultural technology, and environmental sciences.
