Résumé :
|
Cyanobacteria make a major contribution to world photosynthesis and nytrogen fixation, but are also notorious for causing nuisances such as dense and often toxic "blooms" in lakes and the ocean. this book focuses on ecological aspects of these organisms. it begins with an overview of the cyanobacteria - or blue-green algae, then looks at their diversity in the geological record and goes on to describe their ecology in present environments where they play important roles. accounts are provided of nuisances as well as the ecology of the commercially successful 'spirulina' and the role of cyanobacteria in ecosystem recovery from oil pollution. many chapters include aspects of physiology, biochemistry, geochemistry and molecular biology where these help general understanding of the subject. in addition there are three chapters dealing specifically with molecular ecology.
