Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this organism as a model system. Her previous version of the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook which published in 1989, has been a classic in the field and is considered required reading for anyone working with this organism. This latest edition has been expanded to include three volumes providing molecular techniques, analysis of the recently sequenced genome, and reviews of the current status of the diverse fields in which Chlamydomonas is used as a model organism. Methods for Chlamydomonas research and best practices for applications in research, including methods for culture, preservation of cultures, preparation of media, lists of inhibitors and other additives to culture media, are included. Additions to this volume also include help with common laboratory problems such as contamination, student demonstrations, and properties of particular strains and mutants. This volume is part of a 3-Volume Set (ISBN: 978-0-12-370873-1) and is also sold individually. - Expanded revision of gold standard reference - Includes latest advances in research, including completion of the genome - Provides broad perspective with studies in cell and molecular biology, genetics, plant physiology and related fields - Available as part of a 3-Volume Set or sold individually

Cell Physiology Source Book, Fifth Edition covers a broad range of topics in cell physiology. The book discusses research areas that have become active since the last edition (e.g., aquaporins, apicoplast and other organelles) and broadens its scope to include chronobiology, expansion of receptor/sensory physiology, endocrinology, and other topics such as quorum sensing and taxis. As methods or approaches on performing experiments appear to be very valuable parts of books to which readers tend to frequently refer, expansion of these types of chapters and/or appendices are included in this edition. Applicable to scientists, researchers, postdocs and graduate students across physiological, biochemical, biological and biomedical backgrounds, cell physiology is important for understanding larger organisms and potential advances in biomedicine.
