Photosynthesis in algae : biochemical and physiological mechanisms

Photosynthesis in algae : biochemical and physiological mechanisms / edited by Anthony W.D. Larkum, Arthur R. Grossman and John A. Raven.

Algae, including cyanobacteria, are in the spotlight today for a number of reasons; firstly it has become abundantly clear over recent years that algae have been neglected in terms of basic research and that knowledge gap is being rapidly closed with the establishment of some surprising discoveries,...
