Cyanobacterial symbioses are no longer regarded as mere oddities
but as important components of the biosphere, occurring both in
terrestrial and aquatic habitats worldwide. It is becoming apparent
that they can enter into symbiosis with a wider variety of
organisms than hitherto known, and there are many more still to be
discovered, particularly in marine environments. The chapters cover
cyanobacterial symbioses with plants (algae, bryophytes, Azolla,
cycads, Gunnera), cyanobacterial symbioses in marine environments,
lichens, Nostoc-Geosiphon (a fungus closely related to arbuscular
mycorrhiza fungi) symbiosis, and artificial associations of
cyanobacteria with economically important plants. In addition,
cyanobiont diversity, sensing-signalling, and evolutionary aspects
of the symbiosis are dealt with. Renowned experts actively involved
in research on cyanobacterial symbioses deal with ecological,
physiological, biochemical, molecular, and applied aspects of all
known cyanobacterial symbioses.
This volume on cyanobacteria in symbiosis complements the two
earlier volumes on cyanobacteria published by Kluwer (Molecular
Biology of Cyanobacteria, edited by D.A. Bryant and Ecology of
Cyanobacteria, edited by B.A. Whitton and M. Potts). Together, the
three volumes provide the most comprehensive treatment of
cyanobacterial literature as a whole. The book will serve as a
valuable reference work and text for teaching and research in the
field of plant-microbe interactions and nitrogen fixation.
