Second hand copy in good condition.Algae have become the favoured object for a whole range of studies invarious areas of biology. This first volume in the new series comprises16 contributions presented at the Goettingen algal symposium inSeptember 1989. The articles are centered around several major themes ofcurrent interest to algologists and cell biologists: Cell walls andsurfaces: cellulose biosynthesis, scale structures, algal symbiontsin 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, thylakoidarchitecture, electron transfer.
