The Ecological Genomics of Algae

This comprehensive resource explores the evolutionary, ecological, and molecular foundations of algal biology and delves into genome evolution, environmental adaptation, energy acquisition, nutrient uptake, environmental sensing, signal transduction, stress responses, defense, and algae-microbe interactions.
