bioinformatics techniques, bioreactors, transgenic technology, quorum sensing, and molecular methods for
the detection of invasive species. The third part of
the book provides details about marine metagenomics,
proteomics, marine metagenomics and supporting technology, microfluidic systems, and genomic mining. The
fourth part of the book deals with algal biotechnology, starting with the structure and biological activities
of marine algal polysaccharides, two centuries of research on iodine in seaweeds, marine macrophytes, and
heavy metal removal by marine algae. The fifth part of
the book covers marine microbiology, marine microbial
biotechnology, and marine actinomycetes.
The sixth part of the book provides details
about marine-derived metabolites, starting with marine natural products, biocatalysts, antimicrobial peptides, marine-derived fungal metabolites, dinoflagellates, carotenoids, Cnidarians, fatty acids, biotoxins,
microbial enzymes, and polysaccharides. The seventh
part of the book focuses on applications of marine
biotechnology, starting with pharmaceuticals, functional food, nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. The
eighth part of the book covers bioenergy and biofuels; here, the lead authors discuss marine bioenergy,
marine algal biotechnology for bioenergy, and biofuels. Biomedical applications are extensively discussed
in the ninth part of this book; the topics are marine
biomaterials, gene delivery, biosensors, and biomineralization. Finally, the last part of this book focuses on
industrial applications of marine biotechnology.
