Halotolerance in Cyanobacteria

Beschreibung

This book discusses the molecular, cellular and physiological processes of salt tolerance in cyanobacteria. It is divided into three sections, each explaining different aspects of cyanobacteria. The first section covers the principle, characteristic and fundamental physiological processes, the second section descripts the cyanobacterial diversity, genomic context and genome mechanism, and the last section discusses the molecular machinery, cellular response and physiological regulations for salt tolerance.

This book provides a key reference for basic and advances in the field. This book can be used as a reference for researchers, scientist and students whose work on cyanobacteria, stress biology and response.

Autor

Dr. Rungaroon Waditee-Sirisattha is an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. She earned her PhD in biochemistry from Chulalongkorn University and obtained postdoctoral experience with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) fellowship. Subsequently, she became a research scientist at the Plant Science Center, RIKEN, Yokohama, Japan. Thereafter, she was appointed as a special postdoctoral fellow at the Advanced Science Institute, RIKEN, Japan. She joined Chulalongkorn University as a lecturer in 2010. Dr. Waditee-Sirisattha is a molecular microbiologist and an expert in the study of stress tolerance mechanisms of cyanobacteria, particularly extremophilic cyanobacteria. Her research interests include stress biology and molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses in cyanobacteria. Her recent work also includes the discovery of novel natural products, metabolic engineering of these products, and their biotechnological applications. Dr. Hakuto Kageyama is currently a professor in the Graduate School of Environmental and Human Sciences, Meijo University, Japan. He earned his PhD in 2006 from the Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, Japan, where he contributed to the investigation of the circadian clock in cyanobacteria. He obtained postdoctoral experience from Nagoya University and the University of Tokyo, Japan. Subsequently, he joined Ajinomoto Co. Inc. and was engaged in the chemical synthesis and the development of isolation and purification processes of various drugs. Since 2010, he has been at Meijo University. Dr. Kageyama is well recognized for his contributions to the environmental response mechanisms of cyanobacteria and the functional analysis and application of useful substances biosynthesized in cyanobacteria. He has published a number of research articles in international scientific journals and has edited/authored several books.
