Rowan, Kingsley S.
Photosynthetic pigments of algae. 1989. figs. tabs. XIII,334 p. gr8vo. Cloth.
Deals with the physical and chemical properties of the photosynthetic pigments found in algae of different types (blue-green, red, golden-brown, yellow-green, brown, and green). Methods used for extracting and purifying the pigments and their value in classifying the various types of algae are discussed in detail.
Intended primarily as a reference text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate phycologists, this book contains detailed tables of the physical properties of the pigments (absorption and fluorescence-emission spectra and extinction coefficients), and brings together data on the distribution of algal pigments in relation to current hypotheses of the evolution of algae.
