Vast research into the cultivation of seaweeds is currently being undertaken but there is a lack of methodological strategies in place to develop novel drugs from these sources. This book aims to rectify this situation, providing an important review of recent advances and potential new applications for macroalgae. Focusing on the chemical and structural nature of seaweeds the book brings the potentially valuable bioactive nature to the fore. Novel compounds isolated from seaweeds are reviewed to provide an invaluable reference for anyone working in the field.  \u003cb\u003eList of Contributors xvii\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface xxi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor xxiii\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART I Introduction to Algae and Their Importance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Biological Importance of Marine Algae 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAli A.

Vast research into the cultivation of seaweeds is currently being undertaken but there is a lack of methodological strategies in place to develop novel drugs from these sources. This book aims to rectify this situation, providing an important review of recent advances and potential new applications for macroalgae. Focussing on the chemical and structural nature of seaweeds the book brings the potentially valuable bioactive nature to the fore. Novel compounds isolated from seaweeds are reviewed to provide an invaluable reference for anyone working in the field.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive handbook covering current applications of macroalgae to biotechnology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers recent advances as well as future research trends\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthored by an international team of experts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the barriers and opportunities for commercialization of macroalgae biotechnology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes applications of macroalgae biotechnology to a wide range of disciplines, including immunology, neurobiology, agriculture, nutrition and industry.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989335884005,"sku":"NP9780470979181","price":307.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470979181.jpg?v=1761783716","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/handbook-of-marine-macroalgae-isbn-9780470979181","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
