"Much attention has been focussed in the past few decades on studies relating to taxonomy, physiology, ecology, genetics and bio-technology of Cyanophyta (Cyanobacteria). This volume attempts to bring together the information that remains scattered in the understanding of taxonomy and biology of these highly adaptive organisms. Emphasis has been laid on structure, morphology and on their importance and role in environment. The volume is bound to help not only new enterts but also those engaged in research in the understanding of the biology of Cyanophytes." (jacket) Details No. 8472
