Beschreibung:Prochloron and its associations with tropical didemnid ascidians have attracted much attention from biologists in the decade since the organism was discovered. Investigations of the unusual extracellular symbiosis between algae and its hosts hold much promise for the understanding of symbiosis in general and for the theory of symbiogenesis (the hypothesis that plant chloroplasts derive from prokaryotic green symbionts). Ralph A. Lewin discovered Prochloron in the Gulf of California and has led the research of this organism. He and Lanna Cheng have now put together the first book on the subject. Ten leading algal biologists have contributed specialized chapters summarizing virtually everything that is now known about Prochloron --how to collect and preserve it, its fine structure and various biochemical features, its physiological characteristics, and its biological relationships to its specific symbiotic environment
