Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised to bring it up to date, describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the
surface chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular
biological techniques that have made them possible.In ten chapters that are self-contained but that build upon information presented earlier, the book starts with a reductionist, biophysical description of the
photosynthetic reactions. It then moves through biochemical and molecular biological…
This is an extremely interesting and useful book for anyone working with or needing knowledge of photosynthesis in algae and other aquatic plants. The emphasis on biophysics in the first few chapters… This definitive text on aquatic photosynthesis reads like a good novel. It takes the reader on a scientific adventure through the fundamentals of light absorption and the biophysics of the light…
