From the foreword by Dr. S.K. Goyal, National Centre for Conservation and Utilization of Blue-Green Algae: "The prime requirement for launching various programmes involving microalgae is the identity of the organism. Keeping this point in view, Professor Anand has prepared this book which will come handy for the beginners in the algal studies and those who wish to have a sojourn with the algal systems. The simple dichotomous keys given for different groups of microalgae supported by representative illustrations will facilitate easy identification. Such a nice effort can only be expected from a person like Prof. Anand who has delved in the subject for the last over three decades."
