BOROWITZKA, MICHAEL A. AND LESLEY J.BOROWITZKA (EDS.) 
Micro-algal Biotechnology. 1988. illustr. tabs. X,477 p. gr8vo. Hard cover. 
This book provides a detailed overview of micro-algal biotechnology; it discusses algae of current major importance and others with future commercial potential. The production and use of these organisms as sources of vitamins, pigments, polysaccharides, lipids, sterols and essential fatty acids is described in detail, as is their importance in animal feeds and aquaculture, agriculture, waste treatment and as the source of liquid fuels. Technical aspects of mass culture, cell harvesting and the future of genetic engineering are described, and an appendix details culture media.

COLE, KATHLEEN M. AND ROBERT G.SHEATH (EDS.) 
Biology of the Red Algae. 1990. 423 figs. 57 tabs. 99 line diagrams. X,517 p. gr8vo. Hard cover. 
The first comprehensive monograph concerning the rhodophyta in over fifteen years, this volume presents an authoritative review on the current state of knowledge on the biology of the red algae. Written by a group of twenty-six internationally renowned experts, the eighteen chapters range from molecular and cellular to biochemical, physiological , organismal and ecological aspects of this important group of algae. In the past fifteen years, research on the red algae has greatly advanced and diversified; new technologies have extended the range of questions being studied and have yielded findings that would have been previously unobtainable. This is a much needed reference text for students, researchers, and teachers concerned with aquatic biology, phycology, limnology, oceanography and plant evolution.

EVANGELISTA, V., L. BARSANTI, A. M. FRASSANITO, P. VINCENZO AND P. GUALTIERI (EDS.) 
Algal Toxins: Nature, Occurrence, Effect and Detection. Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Sensor Systems for Biological Threats: The Algal Toxins Case, Pisa, Italy, 30 September - 11 October 2007. Publ. 2008. (NATO Science for Peace and Security Series A: Chemistry and Biology). 410 p. gr8vo. Paper bd. 
The first part of this book deals with a general overview of the toxins and toxicity related to the algal world. The first part includes an introduction on the main algal features written by our group; then, the diversity of the cyanobacteria, the algal division that possesses more toxic species, in relation to the environment is described; an overview on the fresh water and marine algal toxins follows; and the allelopathy phenomenon, i.e. any influence on the growth and development of natural systems produced by the algae metabolites is described. The first part ends with the description of toxic algal blooms in several European geographical areas. The second part deals with the review of sensor organisms, the use of biochemical methods and laser Doppler techniques for toxin determination; the use of nucleic acid sensor sensors for identification of toxic species; the use of immunological ELISA analyses combined with various electrochemical detection systems to quantify algal toxins; a review on sensors based on electrochemical methods, and a gene-engineered yeast usable as biochemical instrument for toxin assessment.

HUDNELL, H. KENNETH (ED.) 
Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms. State of the Science and Research Needs. 2008. (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 619). illus. XXII, 949 p. gr8vo. Hardcover. 
With the ever-increasing incidence of harmful cyanobacterial algal blooms, this monograph has added urgency and will be essential reading for all sorts of researchers. The volume contains the proceedings of the 2005 International Symposium on Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms, and has been edited by H. Kenneth Hudnell, of the US Environmental Protection Agency. It contains much of the most recent research into the subject, and includes six workgroup reports that identify and prioritize research needs, as well as 25 invited speaker papers that describe the state of the science. Freshwater CyanoHABs can use up the oxygen and block the sunlight that other organisms need to live. They also can produce powerful toxins that affect the brain and liver of animals and humans. Reports of poisonings associated with CyanoHABs date back to the late 1800s. Anecdotal evidence and data from laboratory animal research suggest that cyanobacte rial toxins can cause a range of adverse human health effects, yet few studies have explored the links between CyanoHABs and human health.

LEMBI, CAROLE A. AND J.ROBERT WAALAND 
Algae and Human Affairs. 1988. 50 tabs. 40 figs. 50 line-diagrams. VIII,590 p. gr8vo. Cloth. 
Provides a detailed, up-to-date synthesis on the important roles algae play in human life. The book is divided into four sections. The first reviews the natural roles of algae as sources of oxygen, organic carbon compounds, and as a bases of food-chains for higher trophic levels. The second group of chapters deals with the commercial and economic value of algae to industry, energy waste treatment, and agriculture. The third section discusses the detrimental, sometimes disastrous, effects of algae in the form of red-tide organisms, weeds, producers of freshwater toxins, and biofouling, as sources of human foods and food additives (for example the carageenan used in dairy products and other foods is an algal extract). The final section considers current applications and future potential of algae to industry in general and in particular to space exploration and genetic engineering.
