` ... can be recommended not only to graduate students and researchers in photosynthesis, but also to those in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, physiology and phycology. Many of them will learn that Chlamydomonas is an excellent model system for biological research, and they might use this organism in their own research. This essential book should be present in general research libraries and university libraries and in those of photosynthesis and genetic institutions.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 155:2 (1999)
