"This is the first book which deals with cyanobacterial nitrogen metabolism exclusively. The book combines both environmental as well as biotechnological aspects of cyanobacteria. The chapters contributed by leading researchers of the subject area provide state of art both basic as well as applied in the field of cyanobacterial environmental biotechnology. The book provides genetical, ecophysiological, biochemical, biotechnological information on cyanobacterial nitrogen metabolism." (jacket)
