Algae have become the favoured object for a whole range of studies invarious areas of biology. This first volume in the new series comprises 16 contributions presented at the Goettingen algal symposium in September 1989. The articles are centered around several major themes of current interest to algologists and cell biologists: Cell walls and surfaces: cellulose biosynthesis, scale structures, algal symbionts in ciliates and lichens, cell wall autolysins, marine biofouling/ Reproduction: Cell differentiation in Volvox, the polyspermy block, mitosis in diatoms, nuclear behaviour and cytokinesis in green algae/ Algal evolution: ribosomal RNA sequences, chloroplast evolution/ Photosynthesis: Phycobilisomes, chlororespiration, thylakoida rchitecture, electron transfer.
