Algal Culturing Techniques by Robert A. Andersen (Editor). Algal Culturing Methods is a complete reference on all facets of the isolation and cultivation of marine and freshwater algae, including seaweeds. It’s divided into seven parts that cowl history, media preparation, isolation and purification methods, mass culturing techniques, cell counting and growth measurement techniques, and evaluations on topics and functions of algal tradition techniques for environmental investigations.
Algal Culturing Techniques was developed to serve as each a new textbook and key reference for phycologists and others learning aquatic methods, aquaculture and environmental sciences. Students of algal ecology, marine botany, marine phycology, and microbial ecology will enjoy the palms-on methodology for culturing a wide range of algae from fresh and marine waters. Researchers in trade, comparable to aquaculture, pharmaceutical, foodstuffs, and biotechnology companies will discover an authoritative and complete reference.
