Cyanobacteria, along with algae, produce nearly half the global oxygen, making assessment of their ecophysiologies important for understanding climate impacts and potential remediation. \u003cb\u003eStress Biology of Cyanobacteria: Molecular Mechanisms to Cellular Responses \u003c\/b\u003eis a compilation of holistic responses of cyanobacteria, ranging from ecological and physiological to the modern aspects of their molecular biology, genomics, and biochemistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCovering almost every aspect of cyanobacterial stress biology, this book is divided into two parts: \u003ci\u003eBioenergetics and Molecular Mechanisms of Stress Tolerance\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCellular Responses and Ecophysiology\u003c\/i\u003e. The first few chapters focus on the molecular bioenergetics of photosynthesis and respiration in cyanobacteria, and provide a clear perspective on different stress tolerance mechanisms. Part I also covers the effect of specific stresses—including heavy metal, high and low temperature, salt, osmotic, and UV-B stress—on a wide range of vital physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes of cyanobacteria. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II describes mechanisms of symbiosis, stress-induced bioproducts, and the role of environmental factors on nitrogen fixation, which along with photosynthesis is a major contributor to the current geochemical status of the planet. The text also covers mutation and cyanobacterial adaptation, and the most widely studied cyanotoxin, microcystin, which has effects on both human and animal health. With contributions from experts around the world, representing the global importance of cyanobacteria, this book provides a broad compilation of research that deals with cyanobacterial stress responses in both controlled laboratory conditions as well as in their natural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50070010069336,"sku":"9781138198746","price":96.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138198746_e1aa4609-22bf-425c-b1a6-261bbe02fe5d.jpg?v=1779177642","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/stress-biology-of-cyanobacteria-molecular-mechanisms-to-cellular-responses","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
