"Algal Metabolites: Biotechnological, Commercial, and Industrial Applications highlights recent advances in algal metabolites and their wide applications. This book discusses recent developments in algal active metabolites for biotechnological, commercial, and industrial applications. Algae exhibit complex photosynthetic systems that can channel solar energy into various forms of energy for the production of novel metabolites. They also have applications as fertilizers, biofuels, bioplastics, pollution prevention, etc. This volume emphasizes the importance of various algal metabolites, assessing their significance as antibiotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agents. Algae can be considered a boon for novel drug discovery in the era of antibiotic resistance because various algal primary and secondary metabolites possess potential antibacterial properties. Algal secondary metabolites have several biotechnological, pharmaceutical, industrial, and cosmetic applications, which are highlighted in this book along with advanced metabolites production technologies at the commercial level. This book comprehensively summarizes the potential application of different types of algal metabolites isolated from micro and macro and fresh and marine water algae"--
