Innovations in Microalgal Harvesting Using Biopolymer-Based Approach

  • Chapter
Microbial Factories

Abstract

Green unicellular microalgae increase their biomass content by the capability of entrapping CO2 for photosynthesis and are crucial for important value product. Negative zeta value is imparted the presence of COOH and NH2 groups. This review will give a detailing toward the forces that are responsible for making alga stable in a solution phase. Beside this, it also explains the various possibilities toward the recent advancement of bioharvesting in terms of technological aspects.
