Algal biotechnology is drawing increasing interest due to its potential as a source of valuable pharmaceuticals, pigments, carbohydrates, and other fine chemicals. Its application has been extended to the areas of wastewater treatment and agriculture. Recent development in various algal biotechnology found microalgal mass culture can be a useful solution in treatment of wastewater, fixation of carbon dioxide and production of biofuel at the same time. Furthermore, the fact that microalgae can conquer the top three environmental problems (global warming, energy crisis, and environmental pollution) in a simultaneous manner is even more exciting. |
