      abstract = {Marine environments represent an underexplored source for  numerous biotechnological applications. Of particular  interest are organisms that can provide various valuable  molecules and are potential candidates for bioremediation  strategies. Fungi, algae, bacteria, yeasts, and sponges are  some unique resources in marine ecosystems. But these must  be preserved and protected from irreversible damage.  Sustainable exploitation through farming systems is the  alternative to prevent pressure on harvesting wild marine  organisms. Written by an international team of experts,  this book provides a broad overview of the possible  approaches and technologies that can be applied in  bioremediation processes and the possibilities to add value  to the biomass produced. It provides a comprehensive  state-of-the-art of current research and practice in  bioremediation technology and bio-based materials. New  processing technologies, and recent technical advances in  molecular biology such as gene mining, omics techniques,  and metabolic engineering are highlighted. The exciting  possibilities that artificial intelligence can bring to the  future of the biotechnology industry are also approached.  The multidisciplinary nature of this book makes it of  interest to a wide range of readers, including researchers,  students, consulting professionals, engineers, governmental  entities, and institutions working in environmental  biotechnology, pollution control and prevention, and  chemical processes.},
