Synopsis
Forty-four international academics and researchers contribute 25 chapters offering the latest findings on how best algal cultures can be utilized as analogues of natural blooms, their utility in understanding the ecological principles and their applications in biotechnology. The text provides an important resource to ecological concepts such as nutrient kinetics, bacterial interactions, response and recovery to environmental perturbations. A sampling of topics: phases, stages and shifts in the life cycles of marine phytoplankton; viral infection in marine eucaryotic microalgae; the trace metal composition of marine microalgae in cultures and natural assemblages; mechanistic models of algal physiology; photosynthetic response and acclimation of microalgae to light fluctuations; and prospects for paratransgenic applications to commercial mariculture using genetically engineered algae. For scholars and researchers in biological oceanography as well as other scientists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Distributed in the U.S. by Enfield.
