Bioprospecting Algae for Nanosized Materials

Algae are diverse,simple,heterogeneous,autotrophic,eukaryotic or prokaryotic organisms that can live symbiotically,parasitically,or freely. They have the potential to be used as a powerful nanofactory to remove toxic contaminants and heavy metals from wastewater. Algae-mediated biogenic nanoparticles are eco-friendly,cost-effective,high-yielding,speedy,and energy-efficient,and have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. This book focuses on recent progress in the utilization of algae for the synthesis of nanoparticles,their characterization,and the possible mechanisms involved.

Algae are incredibly diverse, simple, and primitive organisms that can live symbiotically, parasitically, or freely. They are eukaryotic or prokaryotic and are autotrophic. Microalgae and macroalgae have enormous potential in a wide range of applications. Microalgae are ubiquitous and incredibly diverse microorganisms that can accumulate toxic contaminants and heavy metals from wastewater, making them an excellent candidate for becoming a powerful nanofactory. Algae have been discovered to reduce the presence of metal ions and subsequently aid in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Algae-mediated biogenic nanoparticles are eco-friendly, cost-effective, high-yielding, speedy, and energy-efficient, which has led to a large number of studies on them in recent years. This book focuses on recent progress in the utilization of algae for the synthesis of nanoparticles, their characterization, and the possible mechanisms involved.

Bioprospecting Algae for Nanosized Materials is a comprehensive book that describes the synthesis of algal nanomaterials and their application in various fields for sustainable development. This book outlines the procedures to prepare phyconanomaterials, techniques to utilize the nanomaterials, and applications in agriculture, environment, and medicine.
