Publisher's Synopsis
Diatom Photosythesis not only aims to introduce interested audiences to the topic of diatoms but also to raise awareness of their important ecological role across varied habitats. In this 19-chapter guide authored by leading scientists, a spectrum of topics stemming from diatoms and their photosythetic productivity in ecosystem functionality is discussed. Researchers and individuals open to learning about innovative and sustainable solutions will fancy this book, enabling advocacy of these critical subjects among younger generations.
The book outlines several topics on diatom photosynthesis, including sustainable solutions that have the potential to cultivate diatom technologies for sustainable solutions for society. Divided into four parts, these research topics include photosythetic architecture and molecular peculiarities, primary production and ecophysiology, cultivation and potential applications and outlook and future perspectives. Additionally, sections explore diatom growth and the importance of fundamental research which has garnered more attention over the years.
