Bøker i Marine and Freshwater Botany-serien

Molecular research on algae over the last decades has provided significant insights into universal biological mechanisms. This new book on algal cell biology provides an overview of cutting-edge research with a focus on cytoskeleton structure/function and cytokinesis of algae.

A work that synthesizes the knowledge on the biology of polar benthic marine algae and presents an outlook on their responses to changing environmental conditions in polar regions. It treats the chemical ecology as well as the primary production and ecophysiology of polar benthic algae.

Understanding how higher fungi with their spectrum of cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzymes degrade wood tissue, while labyrinthuloids and thraustochytrids further contribute to the dissolved organic matter entering the open ocean is essential to marine ecology.

A book that brings together acclaimed mycologists to review the developments on the biology and ecology of freshwater fungi, particularly their molecular phylogeny, biodiversity, causative diseases of freshwater amphibians, fishes and invertebrate animals, decomposition of leaf litter, stream pollution and their potential role in bioremediation.
