About Product
The book entitled ``Cyanobacteria`` is an outcome of the author`s twenty years experience in Algology . There is no such textbook or a reference book exclusively on this topic. Cyanobacteria is a group of organisms which have enormous evolutionary, ecological, economic and environmental significance specially with regard to human benefit. Naturally, it is very important to have a clear and in-depth knowledge about the various aspects of cyanobacterial origin, evolution, variations in morphology, ultrastructure, biochemistry, genetics, factors relating to cellular differentiation, enzyme synthesis, response to environmental variations (e.g., chromatic adaptation), ecological strategies of survival, production of toxins and benefits derived from these organisms for human benefit. All these aspects have been dealt with in detail in this book. Great care has been taken to explain the fundamental aspects to the undergraduate students of Botany (Hons.) and the recent modern aspects at the molecular level for the postgraduate students of M.Sc. (Botany), Microbiology, Biotechnology and Life Sciences. Though the syllabi of various Indian universities have been taken into consideration an effort has been made to develop a knowledge base regarding these fascinating organisms. Various metabolic pathways functioning within the cyanobacterial cell have been described with suitable diagrams. Molecular aspects of various cellular functioning have been nicely depicted.
