Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This laboratory reference compiles the essential protocols used in cyanobacterial research. Cyanobacteria is a model system for biofuel production and sequestration of carbon dioxide to tackle global climate change due to increasing levels of greenhouse gases. Topics range from identification and growth parameters to biomolecule estimation and isolation. It also covers genome analysis and bioengineering of cyanobacteria for novel products. Key Features: Provides step-by-step procedures and troubleshooting tips Covers identification, growth parameters and pigment estimation methodologies Describes isolation, characterization and purification of microcystin, phycobiliproteins and scytonemin from cyanobacteria Discusses genomics, proteomics and bioengineering of cyanobacteria from novel products Explains sample preparation and visualization protocol for electron microscopy-based analysis of cyanobacteria This collection is useful to students and researchers in life sciences. It is also meant for industry experts who are involved in the production of biofuels, biofertilizers, other value-added products, and carbon sequestration using cyanobacteria.
