Haematococcus: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Biomedical Applications
暫譯: 紅球藻：生物化學、生物技術與生醫應用

本書提供了微藻培養方法及其在各種應用中優化蝦青素生產的綜合分析，包括臨床用途、藻類聚合物、蛋白質和色素、食品應用和包裝、藻類成型、化妝品等。

微藻是單細胞生物，作為生態系統中的主要生產者，扮演著重要角色。在商業上，雖然有許多文獻可供參考，但一些近期的領域尚待探索。本書包含19章，由專家撰寫，回顧了H. pluvialis衍生蝦青素的培養、收穫和基因工程的最新發展。它還討論了商業規模生產中的瓶頸和挑戰，以及當前和未來的全球市場。當前的研究支持探索微藻及其產品的新主題和實際應用，這也將惠及學術界。

本書將成為研究人員和業界的重要資源，提供廣泛主題的綜合知識。書中包含流程圖、更新的方法和彩色圖片，以幫助讀者理解。
