Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In recent years, cyanobacteria have become the focus of intense study. As simple bacteria, they would seem to be the obvious organisms of choice for the study of such fundamental processes as oxygen-evolving photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. This book will prove useful to investigators with little previous experience with cyanobacteria as well as to those who wish to change the emphasis of their research.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Section I. Isolation, identification and culturing of cyanobacteria -- Section II. Ultrastructure, inclusions and differentiation -- Section III. Membranes, pigments, redox reactions and nitrogen fixation -- Section IV. Physiology and metabolism -- Section V. General physical methods -- Section VI. Molecular genetics.
