From the rear cover: "Algae exhibit the greatest variety of cell motility phenomena in the living world. These range from gliding of filaments in the prokaryotic blue-green algae to the chloroplast movements and cytoplasmic streaming most common in higher plants. In addition cell movement by eukaryotic flagella is the characteristic motile behavior of algal flagellates and most reproductive cells of algae. These motility responses are regulated by light and have attracted much attention from cell biologists and photobiologists interested in the interactions between light, intracellular signals, and the motile machinery. Edited by Michael Melkonian, a leading algal cell biologist, this book brings together for the first time up-to-date information on a broad range of algal cell motility systems. Six-leading researchers have contributed in-depth reviews of the subject, and many illustrations accompany the individual chapters. The book should be of interest to phycologists, cell biologists and photobiologists, to students as well as established researchers." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
