Marine Microalgae

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Marine Biotechnology I

Part of the book series: Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology ((ABE,volume 96))

Abstract

Marine microalgae, the largest primary biomass, have been attracting attention as resources for new metabolites and biotechnologically useful genes. The diversified marine environment harbors a large variety of microalgae. In this paper, the biotechnological aspects and fundamental characteristics of marine microalgae are reviewed.
