Algal Biotechnology

Algal biotechnology is the technological application of algae that might be an innovation created utilizing green growth. The phylogenetic diversity of the algae is also reflected in the diversity of territories they can be present in, and their morphological, physiological and biochemical diversity. Many natural products along with vitamins, organic acids, polypeptides and polysaccharides are secreted by algae. Algal cells need not be free floating but may be immobilized on the surfaces where they can serve as biocatalyst.
