Evolutionary Pathways and Enigmatic Algae Cyandium Caldarium (Rhodophyta) and Related Cells

About this book

Topics in Evolutionary Pathways and Enigmatic Algae include: compartmental (direct filiation) eukaryogenesis; the endosymbiotic hypothesis; molecular RNA and protein sequences of genes in phylogenetic applications; reports on newly discovered species of the Cyandium group.
