Description

The aim of this new book series (Diatoms: Biology and Applications) is to provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on diatom biology and applications.

The first book of the series, Diatoms Fundamentals & Applications, is wide ranging, starting with the contributions of amateurs and the beauty of diatoms, to details of how their shells are made, how they bend light to their advantage and ours, and major aspects of their biochemistry (photosynthesis and iron metabolism).

The book then delves into the ecology of diatoms living in a wide range of habitats, and look at those few that can kill or harm us.

The book concludes with a wide range of applications of diatoms, in forensics, manufacturing, medicine, biofuel and agriculture.

The contributors are leading international experts on diatoms.

This book is for a wide audience researchers, academics, students, and teachers of biology and related disciplines, written to both act as an introduction to diatoms and to present some of the most advanced research on them.
