Pigments from Microalgae Handbook
The Pigments from Microalgae Handbook presents the current state of knowledge on pigment production using microalgae-based processes, and covers both the scientific fundamentals of this technology and its practical applications. It addresses biology, chemistry, biochemistry, analysis and engineering aspects, as well as applications of natural pigments in photosynthetic organisms. The book also describes the analytical procedures associated with the characterization of pigments and the engineering aspects of microalgal pigment production. It considers the three major classes of pigments(chlorophylls, carotenoids and phycobiliproteins) produced and surveys the main commercial applications of these chemicals. The book offers a valuable source of information for industrial researchers and practitioners in industrial biotechnology, as it covers various engineering aspects of microalgal pigment production, such as bioreactors and bioprocesses, industrial extraction processes, and the bioeconomy of production including life-cycle assessment. The book will also be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of biochemistry, food chemistry, and industrial microbiology.
Sustainable Biotechnology
Sustainable Biotechnology; Sources of Renewable Energy draws on the vast body of knowledge about renewable resources for biofuel research, with the aim to bridge the technology gap and focus on critical aspects of lignocellulosic biomolecules and the respective mechanisms regulating their bioconversion to liquid fuels and other value-added products. This book is a collection of outstanding research reports and reviews elucidating several broad-ranging areas of progress and challenges in the utilization of sustainable resources of renewable energy, especially in biofuels.

This book encompasses all the knowhow of different biofuel production processes through biological methods. It describes recent advancements in all major biofuel technologies such as biohydrogen, biomethane, bioethanol, syngas and so forth. Related protocols supported by schematic representation are included, encompassing comprehensive up-to-date scientific and technological information in biofuels and bioenergy. Features: Includes practical approaches focused on process design and analysis in biofuel production via biological routes Discusses kinetic equations of different microbial systems Provides comprehensive coverage of biochemical kinetics and equations related to biofuel process Describes protocols for setting up of experiments for pertinent biofuel technologies Emphasis on practical engineering approaches and experiments This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in chemical, biochemical and bioprocess engineering, and biofuels.
The Deshima Diaries
English translation of the marginalia, or marginal notes, that were added to the text of the Deshima Diaries from the 1670's onwards in order to provide the Dutch chief of Deshima with a quick reference to the notes of his predecessors. This volume covers the marginalia from the 1740-4800 diaries. Providing the general public, and especially those who have neither a command of Dutch nor of Japanese access to a fascinating period of Japanese history in which the Dutch played such a singular role. At the same time, the serious scholar wil obtain an easy key to the extremely rich holdings of the archive of the Deshima trading factory, which covers a shelf length of more than forty meters in the...
Ecology and Morphology of Copepods
Ecology and Morphology of Copepods is organized under the following general topics: Behavior, Feeding, Genetics, Horizontal Variations, Morphology, Phylogeny, Reproduction, Seasonal Changes, Vertical Distribution, plus two special sessions on copepods of the genus Acartia and cyclopid/mosquito interactions. The Maxilliped Lecture, given by Dr. Arthur G. Humes of Boston University, clearly established the importance of copepods to the earth's organic diversity. The book consists of selected research articles from the different sections. The articles published here reflect the diverse research interests of copepodologists today, and are distinguished by their high quality. Their impact will ensure that this volume is consulted by a wide range of research biologists.
Prospects of Renewable Bioprocessing in Future Energy Systems
This book discusses various renewable energy resources and technologies. Topics covered include recent advances in photobioreactor design; microalgal biomass harvesting, drying, and processing; and technological advances and optimised production systems as prerequisites for achieving a positive energy balance. It highlights alternative resources that can be used to replace fossil fuels, such as algal biofuels, biodiesel, bioethanol, and biohydrogen. Further, it reviews microbial technologies, discusses an immobilization method, and highlights the efficiency of enzymes as a key factor in biofuel production. In closing, the book outlines future research directions to increase oil yields in microalgae, which could create new opportunities for lipid-based biofuels, and provides an outlook on the future of global biofuel production. Given its scope, the book will appeal to all researchers and engineers working in the renewable energy sector.
Oar Feet and Opal Teeth
Richly illustrated, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth by Charles B. Miller introduces readers to free-living copepods. Copepods are small crustaceans found only in water. Although they play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance in lakes and oceans, most people are unfamiliar with them. In Oar Feet and Opal Teeth, Miller characterizes their shape, oar-like feet for escaping predators, and stone-like teeth. He also discusses copepods' internal anatomy, life cycle variations, and how they capture food and avoid predators. In addition, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth features profiles of several leading copepodologists, providing insight into how scientists study these complex and fascinating animals.
