Abstract: "[Book title] is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. ... describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular biological techniques that have made them possible."--Back cover.
