 Research on Algae is now a more important subject in this era of marine biology and biotechnology. Marine biologists are trying to understand the function of algae and its uses in all aspects of biological and biomedical approaches. Finding algal potentials is related with identification of microalgae in a particular environment for its antibacterial activities, antioxidant activities, nutrient enrichments, synthesizing Nano particles, separation of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites, identification of polysaccharides, biodiesel production, identification of toxin producing microalgae and lipids production for various health supplements and so forth which can be corroborated with algae observations. This text book on algae deals with the basic information and ideas on how the algae research started by young researchers from the local freshwater, estuary, mangroves and marine environments to find the potential of algal research for the current and future knowledge.
