This volume gathers together contributions from well-known experts, who in many cases played major roles in elucidating the phenomenon discussed. Presented in three parts, the first section of this comprehensive book describes novel biochemical pathways which in some instances have an atypical subcellular localization. The second section details atypical cellular mechanisms of organelle protein import, organelle nuclear genome interdependence, gene regulation and expression that provides insights into the evolutionary origins of eukaryotic cells. The final section discusses how biotechnologists have capitalized on the novel cellular and biochemical features of \u003ci\u003eEuglena\u003c\/i\u003e to produce value added products. \u003ci\u003eEuglena: Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology\u003c\/i\u003e will provide essential reading for cell and molecular biologists with interests in evolution, novel biochemical pathways, organelle biogenesis and algal biotechnology. Readers will come away from this volume with a full understanding of the complexities of the \u003ci\u003eEuglena\u003c\/i\u003e as well as new realizations regarding the diversity of cellular processes yet to be discovered.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I Biochemistry and Physiology.- Chapter 1 Evolutionary Origin of \u003ci\u003eEuglena\u003c\/i\u003e.- Chapter 2 The Mitochondrion of \u003ci\u003eEuglena gracilis\u003c\/i\u003e.- Chapter 3 C2 Metabolism in \u003ci\u003eEuglena\u003c\/i\u003e.- Chapter 4 Biochemistry and Physiology of Reactive Oxygen Species in \u003ci\u003eEuglena\u003c\/i\u003e.
