Cyanobacteria have existed for 3.5 billion years, yet they are still the most important photosynthetic organisms on the planet for cycling carbon and nitrogen.  The ecosystems where they have key roles range from the warmer oceans to many Antarctic sites.  They also include dense nuisance growths in nutrient-rich lakes and nitrogen-fixers which aid the fertility of rice-fields and many soils, especially the biological soil crusts of arid regions.   Molecular biology has in recent years provided major advances in our understanding of cyanobacterial ecology.  Perhaps for more than any other group of organisms, it is possible to see how the ecology, ...

Reviews for Ecology of Cyanobacteria II
From the reviews: “Each chapter has an introduction, a detailed presentation of the topic with consistent information on the involved molecular aspects, and conclusions. … this book should be read from the brilliant preface to the last sentence of the final chapter by every (cyano)bacteriologist and (other) scientists involved in (general) ecology.” (Ioan I. Ardelean, Romanian Journal of Biochemistry, ... Read more
