Since the publication of the previous editions of the Handbook of Photosynthesis, many new ideas on photosynthesis have emerged in the past decade that have drawn the attention of experts and researchers on the subject as well as interest from individuals in other disciplines. Updated to include 37 original chapters and making extensive revisions to the chapters that have been retained, 90% of the material in this edition is entirely new. With contributions from over 100 authors from around the globe, this book covers the most recent important research findings. It details all photosynthetic factors and processes under normal and stressful conditions, explores the relationship between photosynthesis and other plant physiological processes, and relates photosynthesis to plant production and crop yields. The third edition also presents an extensive new section on the molecular aspects of photosynthesis, focusing on photosystems, photosynthetic enzymes, and genes. New chapters on photosynthesis in lower and monocellular plants as well as in higher plants are included in this section. The book also addresses growing concerns about excessive levels and high accumulation rates of carbon dioxide due to industrialization. It considers plant species with the most efficient photosynthetic pathways that can help improve the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Completely overhauled from its bestselling predecessors, the Handbook of Photosynthesis, Third Edition provides a nearly entirely new source on the subject that is both comprehensive and timely. It continues to fill the need for an authoritative and exhaustive resource by assembling a global team of experts to provide thorough coverage of the subject while focusing on finding solutions to relevant contemporary issues related to the field.

The single celled micro-alga Chlorella is the high tech food that is as old as life itself. The highest source of natural chlorophyll, Chlorella has almost three times the protein of beef. One acre produces 15,000 kilograms of protein, nearly 20 times the per-acre yield of soybeans. Chlorella's ability to purify water and air while producing food make traveling and living in outer space possible, can transform animal waste to animal feed, and Chlorella ponds clean waste water while providing sanctuaries for birds and fish. With the intriguing regenerative qualities of the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), Chlorella is a highly prized health food in Japan, where millions of people eat it daily. Chlorella covers the many benefits of this ancient organism, including recipes for incorporating Chlorella into your diet.

"The concept of producing different products from chlorella for the benefits of health demands efficient utilization of all the components. The high-value antioxidants such as carotenoids, xanthophylls and unsaturated fatty acids from chlorella have beneficial effects for humans and animals. Even chlorella vulgaris can be used as a fish feed for balanced and increased amount of fish production. The availability of vitamin B12 also increases the importance of chlorella as a food supplement for vegans. The biologically active vitamin B12 present in chlorella products is suitable as a natural B12 source for humans. Chlorella contains pigments like chlorophyll, carotenoids, lutein, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, violaxanthin and antheraxanthin which even play a vital role for producing medicines for cancer treatment. This is to note that this book gives an overview about the different health benefits of chlorella starting from its morphological studies"--

This book covers the state-of-the-art of microalgae physiology and biochemistry (and the several –omics). It serves as a key reference work for those working with microalgae, whether in the lab, the field, or for commercial applications. It is aimed at new entrants into the field (i.e. PhD students) as well as experienced practitioners. It has been over 40 years since the publication of a book on algal physiology. Apart from reviews and chapters no other comprehensive book on this topic has been published. Research on microalgae has expanded enormously since then, as has the commercial exploitation of microalgae. This volume thoroughly deals with the most critical physiological and biochemical processes governing algal growth and production.
