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.

Cyanobacteria constitute the most widely distributed group of photosynthetic prokaryotes found in almost all realms of the earth and play an important role in Earth's nitrogen and carbon cycle. The gradual transformation from reducing atmosphere to oxidizing atmosphere was a turning point in the evolutionary history of the earth and made conditions for present life forms possible. Cyanobacteria: From Basic Science to Applications is the first reference volume that comprehensively discusses all aspects of cyanobacteria, including the diverse mechanisms of cyanobacteria for the advancement of cyanobacterial abilities, towards higher biofuel productivity, enhanced tolerance to environmental stress and bioactive compounds and potential for biofertilizers.
