This comprehensive two-volume (librarian note: there are four volumes in this series) treatise discusses all the aspects of the genus Euglena from taxonomy and ecology to biochemistry. It further considers its role and widespread use in modern cell biology experimentation. Special attention is given to the biology of the Euglena chloroplast. Contributors review each topic This comprehensive two-volume (librarian note: there are four volumes in this series) treatise discusses all the aspects of the genus Euglena from taxonomy and ecology to biochemistry. It further considers its role and widespread use in modern cell biology experimentation. Special attention is given to the biology of the Euglena chloroplast. Contributors review each topic in its historical context and development, but place special emphasis on the current literature. This treatise will prove to be invaluable to research workers and graduate students in biology, biochemistry, biophysics, zoology, botany, cytology and general physiology who are interested in this genus.
