Beschreibung
This reference work explores algae's role as one of the fastest-growing photosynthetic organisms with significant applications across various industries. Focusing on algae's secondary metabolites, this book offers evidence-based insights into algal research, emphasizing metabolism, cultivation, and the biological mechanisms of action of secondary metabolites in combating degenerative and microbial diseases such as diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and antimicrobial resistance. In this book, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these photosynthetic organisms can be harnessed for diverse benefits. Divided into seven sections, the book begins with an overview of algae's metabolism and cultivation techniques, followed by a comprehensive coverage of algae's primary and secondary metabolites, their synthesis and pathways. Subsequent sections cover a wide range of topics including the biological mechanisms of action of algal metabolites against microbial resistance, and the nutritional, agricultural, environmental, and industrial advantages of algae. Contributions from renowned scholars and experts across disciplines such as biology, botany, biochemistry, biotechnology, and indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) enrich this work. Given its breadth, this book is a must-read for those interested in plant biotechnology, drug discovery and development, systems biology, and bioinformatics. It appeals to scholars, academics and professionals seeking to stay abreast of current trends and prospects within this dynamic area of research.
