Algae and Cyanobacteria in Extreme Environments

Algae and Cyanobacteria in Extreme Environments edited by Joseph Seckbach.

ALGAE AND CYANOBACTRIA IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS is a unique collection of essays, contributed by leading scientists from around the world, devoted to algae – and some related microbes – observed in unexpected harsh habits, which it seems are an oasis or Garden of Eden for these organisms. This timely...
