Cyanobacteria are ancient, primordial oxygenic phototrophs, and
probably the progenitor of oxygen-evolving photosynthesis. They are
a prolific source of natural products and metabolites and vitally
important for environmental biology and biotechnology.
Cyanobacterial Physiology presents foundational knowledge alongside
the most recent advances in cyanobacterial biology. The title
examines the challenges of industrial application through an
understanding of the basic molecular machinery of cyanobacteria.
Sixteen chapters are organized into three sections. The first part
covers basic cyanobacterial biology, emphasizing environmental
biology such as photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, circadian
rhythm, and programmed cell death. The second part includes the
chapters that discuss cyanobacterial extremophiles, adaptations,
secondary metabolites, osmoprotectants, and toxins. The third part
covers aspects of cyanobacterial application that are based on
environmental biology. Leading scientists contribute chapters on
cyanobacteria. Cyanobacterial Physiology presents a comprehensive
and vibrant solution for researchers and engineers in biotechnology
interested in cyanobacteria and their applications. Topics include
the cyanobacterial cell and fundamental physiological processes;
the biotechnological potential of cyanobacteria with their
versatile metabolism; and advanced applications of cyanobacterial
products. At each stage the book is informed by basic and applied
research.
