Riassunto

In this book, an international panel of phycologists, protozoologists, mycologists, and other biologists review the current status of the chromophyte algae (those containing chlorophylls a and c). They discuss the ultrastructure, biochemistry, physiology, systematics, and phylogeny of this diverse group of ecologically and economically important organisms.

Recensione

'It is a companion piece to the book on green algae published in 1984 and is of the same high quality. The book contains a wealth of information ... The editors ... deserve plenty of credit for their efforts.' Ø. Moestrup, European Journal of Protistology, Vol.26, October 1990

'This volume will be met with much anticipation by protistologists, phycologists, and evolutionary biologists alike because it provides new insights on the interrelationsahips fo the chromophytic assemblage ... Without question this volume on the cromophytic algae successfully up-to-date accounts and by its catholic approach will contribute significantly to our understanding of the relationships of these organisms.' TAXON 39 (Nov 1990)

'the appearance of the present volume is particularly timely ... Not only phycologists but also all those interested in evolution will find the book a real delight. Its 429 pages are crammed with information synthesized in a most readable manner and illustrated with a wealth of high quality micrographs and first class and mostly original line drawings and diagrams ... the editors and contributors cannot be praised too highly for putting together such a stimulating volume.'J.G. Duckett, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (1993)
