ALGAE AND CYANOBACTRIA IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS is a unique
collection of essays, contributed by leading scientists from around the
world, devoted to algae and some related microbes observed in
unexpected harsh habits, which it seems are an oasis or Garden of Eden
for these organisms. This timely book on Extremophilic alga, including
its especially impressive micrographs, may provide clues about the
edges of life on Earth and possibly elsewhere in the universe.
Defining locations from the anthropomorphic point of view, the
environments explored ranges from severe and distant to normal places.
The algae discussed, microbial oxygenic phototrophs, are classified
into various categories according to their habitats. They thrive in
various temperature ranges, at the limits of pH values, in salt
solutions, under UV radiation, dryness, heavy metals, anaerobic niches,
under various levels of illuminations, and under hydrostatic pressure.
Authors discuss bio-diversely algal territories ecologically the hot
springs with the thermophiles or acido-thermophiles; Antarctica, the
Artic, and permafrost zones with their cold lovers (Psychrophiles);
soda lakes with the alkaliphiles, saltine areas with halophiles. In
addition to general essays, Algal species discussed in detail include
diatoms, Cyanidium, Galdieria, Dunaliella, and Chroococcidiopsis.
This volume is a must for students of the field of biodiversity, as
well as those in Phycology, ecology and general biological research.
