Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 91))

Abstract

The alga known in the literature as Cyanidium caldarium is an acido-thermophilic organism distributed ubiquitously throughout the world. This alga resembles Chlorella, is unicellular, eukaryotic and exhibits a rather simple ultrastructure (contains a nucleus, a single mitochondrion and chloroplast which are embedded the ground cytoplasm) surrounded by a thick proteinaceous cell wall. The fine structure, physiology and biochemical properties such as its ability to thrive under pure carbon-dioxide, are being reviewed elsewhere in this volume.
