"Algal Culturing Techniques presents a comprehensive reference on all aspects of the isolation and cultivation of marine and freshwater algae. Researchers and others studying limnology, oceanography, phycology, or microbial ecology will enjoy the hands-on methodology for culturing a variety of algae from fresh and marine environments. Researchers in industry, such as aquaculture, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and biotechnology will find an authoritative and comprehensive reference."--Jacket.
