Algae have become the favoured object for a whole range of studies in various areas of biology. This first volume in the new series Experimental Phycology comprises 16 contributions presented at the G ttingen algal symposium in September 1989. The articles are centered around several major themes of current interest to algologists and cell biologists. Topics reviewed cover: - cell walls and surfaces: cellulose biosynthesis, scale structures, algal symbionts in ciliates and lichens, cell wall autolysins, marine biofouling, - reproduction: cell differentiation in Volvox, the polyspermy block, mitosis in diatoms, nuclear behaviour and cytokinesis in green algae, - algal evolution: ribosomal RNA sequences, chloroplast evolution, and - photosynthesis: phycobilisomes, chlororespiration, thylakoid architecture, electron transfer.
