The Handbook of Macroalgae: Biotechnology and Applied Phycology describes the
biological, biotechnological and the industrial applications of seaweeds. Vast
research into the cultivation of seaweeds is currently being undertaken but
there is a lack of methodological strategies in place to develop novel drugs
from these sources. This book aims to rectify this situation, providing an
important review of recent advances and potential new applications for
macroalgae. Focusing on the chemical and structural nature of seaweeds the book
brings the potentially valuable bioactive nature to the fore. Novel compounds
isolated from seaweeds are reviewed to provide an invaluable reference for
anyone working in the field.
