Abstract
Marine microalgae, the largest primary producer in the marine system, have been attracting wide attention as potential resources of new metabolites and biofuels. Whole genome sequencing and genetic modifications of microalgae have been rapidly advancing during the last few decades. In this chapter, the diversity of marine microalgae, the microalgal natural components, and the biotechnologies associated with microalgae are reviewed.
