Description

A single-source reference on the biology of algae, the third edition of Algae: Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Biotechnology examines the most important taxa and structures for freshwater, marine, and terrestrial forms of algae. Its comprehensive coverage goes from algae's historical role through its taxonomy and ecology to its natural product possibilities.

In this update, the authors have gathered a significant amount of new material, including:

  • more information on macroalgae
  • detailed description of biotic associations
  • updated description of biomass cultivation systems
  • coverage of different "omic" approaches and tools used in algal investigation
  • an expanded and updated algae utilization chapter

The book's unifying theme is the important role of algae in the earth's self-regulating life support system and its function within restorative models of planetary health. It also discusses algae's biotechnological applications, including potential nutritional and pharmaceutical products.

Written for students as well as researchers, teachers, and professionals in the field of phycology and applied phycology, this new full-color edition is both illuminating and inspiring.
