  • Seaweeds as Accumulators of Heavy Metals: Current Status on Heavy Metal Sequestration
    C. Periyasamy, K. Suresh Kumar, P.V. Subba Rao
    Algae Mediated Bioremediation Industrial Prospectives Volume 2, 2024
    Heavy metals (HMs) are generated through various anthropogenic and natural activities in the marine environment. World Health Organization (WHO) listed 13 HMs having a profound impact on the environment and human health, and they include arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, mercury, manganese, nickel, lead, tin, and titanium. They are toxic even at low concentrations although copper and zinc are essential micronutrients for life. Seaweeds in the marine ecosystem are the primary producers and play a vital role to accumulate these HMs, and as a result, they pose a threat to the food chain since they are consumed by fish and human beings. Seaweed biomass of species of Sargassum, Macrocystis pyrifera, and Kappaphycus alvarezi is a powerful bio-sorbent of HMs like copper and chromium. Efforts must be initiated to reduce ocean acidification to minimize marine pollution besides undertaking physiological studies on seaweeds to predict future changes in their community structure and function. Sequestration of HMs through cultivated seaweeds has been dealt with.
  • A Role of Algae in an Aquatic Ecosystem
    M. Aruna
    Algal Biotechnology Current Trends Challenges and Future Prospects for A Sustainable Environment, 2024
    The complexity of various organisms of a community termed as ecosystem is a dynamic system. Structural and functional changes are brought forth in accordance to the action and reaction of biotic and abiotic components. Functional aspects of environment constitute an ecological unit. Abiotic environment of freshwater ecosystem affects the biotic component of ecosystem. If any change occurs in physicochemical characteristics of water, it causes a direct impact upon the biota. Therefore, the knowledge of physicochemical characteristics of water is essential for proper exploitations of aquatic environment. Freshwater bodies are important sources of production, and phytoplankton constitute the major segment of primary producers followed by macrophytes. Phytoplanktons are important in environmental impact study as they are extremely responsible to change the environment and thus indicate environmental changes and fluctuations that may occur. Phytoplanktons act as biological indicators of water pollution.
  • Seaweeds Aid in Carbon Sequestration to Combat Global Warming: A Glimpse
    Harshita Mishra, K. Suresh Kumar, K. Pratibha, C. Periyasamy, P.V. Subba Rao
    Algae Mediated Bioremediation Industrial Prospectives Volume 2, 2024
    Fossil fuels-led carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is mainly responsible for over half of the global warming due to greenhouse gases (GHGs). Nowadays, the processes involving carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture and storage (CCS) have gained attention as an alternative for reducing CO 2 concentration in ambient air; these technologies are considered as short-term solutions due to the concerns about the sustainability of environment for these processes. On the other hand, an encouraging technology could be the biological capture of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) using seaweeds, otherwise known as macroalgae, as they have unrivaled advantages over higher plants due to the fact that they do not require terrestrial land, occur naturally in large quantities as well as can be easily cultivated. Seaweeds are multicellular inhabiting the littoral and sublittoral zones in the sea with ample amount of light to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthetic efficiency of seaweeds range from 20% to 40% as compared to 1–2% in terrestrial plants. Moreover, the advantage of being tolerant to high concentration of CO 2 , low light intensity requirement, environmental sustainability, and the possibility to derive value-added products, make macroalgae favorable for carbon sequestration. This chapter discusses the advantages of macroalgae as compared to the other sequestration methodologies.
  • Valorization of Wastes Using Microalgae: A Glance
    K. Nayana, D. Vidya, A. Srinivasa Rao, C. Periyasamy, K. Suresh Kumar, K. Arun Kumar, P.V. Subba Rao
    Algal Biotechnology Applications for Industrial Development and Human Welfare, 2024
    Microalgae are a good source for bioremediation of domestic and industrial wastewater, and they serve as biological tools for monitoring heavy metals, pesticides, toxicants, etc. The removal of excess nutrients from wastewater by employing microalgae helps to lessen pollution. Wastewater including sewage with enormous nutrients (N, P, and C) derived from various sources provides an opportunity for potentially cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable means of algal growth for higher biomass production with a higher yield of bioactive compounds. The use of microalgae for bioremediation is an alternative option for currently adopted conventional chemical methods. When algae are grown in wastewater, they treat the water without simultaneous emission of methane, which is normally evolved during the anaerobic-aerobic treatment of wastewater. Algal cultivation in wastewater may be used to remove pollutant. The chapter deals cultivation of algae in wastewater and the use of algal biomass after phycoremediation as manure in agriculture or as feedstock production.
  • Microalgae: A Potential Source of Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals-A Scenario
    D. Vidya, K. Nayana, A. Srinivasa Rao, C. Periyasamy, K. Suresh Kumar, K. Arun Kumar, P.V. Subba Rao
    Algal Biotechnology Applications for Industrial Development and Human Welfare, 2024
    Pharmaceutical compounds derived from microalgae are still in their infancy, but they could eventually lead to the creation of new medications. Manufacturing of these substances The market potential for microalgae is expected to rise in the near future, providing opportunities for new biotechnological endeavors that aim to produce more biomass for human use, provided that the demand for food and medicine does not become a hindrance. For the production of chemicals used in medicines and nutraceuticals such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), carotenoids, phycobiliproteins, polysaccharides, and phycotoxins, microalgae may be a sustainable supply.

  • Kappaphycus Farming for Socio-Economic Development of Coastal People in India
    P.V. Subba Rao, C. Periyasamy
    Handbook of Algal Technologies and Phytochemicals Volume II Phycoremediation Biofuels and Global Biomass Production, 2019
    Kappaphycus farming was carried out in coastal waters of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat using different cultivation methods specific to the habitat, and they include floating bamboo raft method, off-bottom monoline method (OM), off-bottom monoline net fenced method, off-bottom monoline tubular method and off-bottom monoline net bag method. The FBR method has been widely used by the growers in coastal waters of Tamil Nadu for commercial farming. The OM method involved a single lengthy rope of 100 m or less depending on availability of cultivation ground. The successful model of Kappaphycus cultivation consisted of five-member self help group. The Indian government should promote Kappaphycus cultivation as a mission mode program to eradicate poverty in the coastal villages and initiate indigenous production of refined/semi-refined for internal use thereby saving the foreign exchange hitherto being incurred for importing the same and also for export of this chemical to earn foreign exchange.
