A single-source reference on the biology of algae, Algae: Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Biotechnology, Second Edition examines the most important taxa and structures for freshwater, marine, and terrestrial forms of algae. Its comprehensive coverage goes from algae's historical role through its taxonomy and ecology to its natural product possibilities.
With the aid of all this information, we have completely revised the book, introducing the following changes and additions:
- We have added 27 new figures for a total of 205 figures, many of them in color
- All the 38 tables have been revised and rewritten
- We have updated the literature in all chapters
- We wrote an entirely new chapter on how odd algae can be
- We have rewritten Chapter 1, updating the classification of algae and modifying the section on the endosymbiosis and origin of eukaryotic photosynthesis.
- We have expanded Chapter 2, adding new types of root systems and algal swimming patterns and modifying the section on photoreception and photoreceptors
- We have updated Chapter 3, adding absorption spectra measured on samples from all algal divisions together with their decomposition in pigments. We have also added the absorption spectra of all the chlorophylls and the accessory pigments
- We have modified notation and wording of Chapters 4 and 5
- We have expanded section on collection storage and preservation in Chapter 6, adding new information on automatic algae recognition and classification
- We have rewritten Chapter 7, updating the section on algal toxins and algal bioactive molecules
- We have, of course, corrected the numerous errors present in the first edition (we do apologize for them), doing our best to avoid errors in this new edition.
