      abstract = {This volume presents recent developments in the novel drug  development and potential of extremophilic cyanobacteria.  It discusses how these tiny organism originated, produce  oxygen that leads to evolution of life on the earth, how  their survival strategies in extreme climatic conditions  lead to diverse metabolic pathways, and the opportunity to  use them to develop novel drugs. The book is comprised of  five chapters, starting with the origin of cyanobacteria,  their survival strategies under extreme conditions, and  their capabilities to change metabolic activities.The  second chapter explores the different metabolic pathways  found in cyanobacteria and examines advances in this field  and recent techniques like MALDI-TOF imaging and  metagenomics tools as well as in silico techniques for  rapid screening of secondary metabolites. Further chapters  cover the glycomics of cyanobacteria, anticancer drug  development, and some issues and challenges of using  cyanobacteria to develop drugs. Extremophilic Cyanobacteria  For Novel Drug Development provides insight into future  perspectives in drug development and is a key resource for  students, researchers and professionals in pharmacy,  medicinal chemistry, pharmacognosy biotechnology, biology,  and academics.},
