Volatile organic compounds from microalgae

摘要: Abstract Microalgae-based systems for chemicals production are an emergent area, representing great promise industrial application. The growing interest in natural and high-energy biomolecules directs the development of technologies that employ microalgae. These microorganisms known to produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be obtained from biomass or released extracellularly into medium. In order use fraction microalgae systems, detailed knowledge biosynthesis identification such is a fundamental step identify aspects final product, may represent improvement supply inputs different types industry. This way, chapter presents comprehensive description produced with focus on metabolism, biotic abiotic factors induce your formation, application these industry, well as downstream techniques associated compounds.
