Algae Classification and Species delivers a detailed overview of freshwater and marine algal diversity. It provides an essential introduction to the study of phycology with broad applications in diverse biological and biotechnological fields. Written and edited by a global team of experts in the field of phycology, this book is organized according to major algal taxa, including green, red, and brown macroalgae, benthic and planktonic algae, blue-green algae, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and microalgae. Chapters are structured to provide readers with a sweeping understanding of the breadth of marine algae, including their principal characteristics, evolution, phylogeny, distribution, preservation, and more.

This book is designed to provide a complete, legible review of algal diversity. It is a valuable resource for researchers, biotechnologists, and students interested in developing their understanding of basic algal biology.

Delivers a complete review of algal diversity
Describes major marine and freshwater micro- and macroalgal taxa
Outlines the principal characteristics, evolution, phylogeny, distribution, and preservation of each taxon

Dr. Kit Wayne Chew is Assistant Professor in Nanyang Technological University’s School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. He obtained his PhD from the University of Nottingham, where he began his research in sustainable bioprocess engineering for food and pharmaceutical products. His current research examines the utilization of algae biotechnology to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly methods for the synthesis of functional ingredients. Dr. Chew’s professional appointments include Associate Member in the Institution of Chemical Engineers Malaysia (IChemE), Graduate Engineer registered with the Board of Engineers Malaysia, and Graduate Technologist registered with the Malaysia Board of Technologies. He is listed as the #5 author contributing research on the topic of “Microalgal Technology� on SciVal.

ChM. Dr. Kuan Shiong Khoo is an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan. His research focuses on the upstream and downstream processing of bioactive compounds such as proteins, lipids and carotenoids (i.e. astaxanthin, lutein and fucoxanthin) as renewable energy from microalgae biomass using various extraction technologies such as liquid biphasic system, assisted-liquid biphasic system and ionic liquids technologies. His research interest also involves in microalgae-bacteria consortium for wastewater, heavy metal, and volatile organic compound bioremediation, algae-based biofuels, and bioplastics, incorporation of Internet-of-things (IoT) and machine learning. He has published over 200+ journal articles (90% are ranked in Q1 journals). For more information, please refer to the follow webpage: https://kuanshiongkhoo.com/

Dr. Wai Yan Cheah is Senior Lecturer in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Social, Environmental, and Developmental Sustainability Research Center. She obtained her PhD from Universiti Malaya, where she began her research in microalgae, biorefineries, and wastewater management. Her current research focuses on wastewater cultivation and biorefinery applications of microalgae, including biofuels, bioplastics, and metabolites.
