Increasing global population, dwindling agriculture and industrial production, and inequitable distribution of resources and technologies have further aggravated the problem. The burden placed by increasing population on environment and especially on agricultural productivity is phenomenal. To provide food and fuel to such a massive population, it becomes imperative to find new ways and means to increase the production giving due consideration to biosphere's ability to regenerate resources and provide ecological services.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCyanobacteria are environment friendly resource for commercial production of active biochemicals, drugs and future energy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of contributors ix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout the editors xv\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements xvii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout the book xix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction xxi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNaveen K.
