"The book is well illustrated with diagrams, figures and tables, and the chapters are thorough, well-presented and easy to read. The content has been carefully selected from the huge range of topics that are covered under eukaryotic microbiology, and provides an excellent overview. It will be a useful reference work for researchers and students in many areas of eukaryotic microbiology, and of course for all other microbiologists fascinated by these incredible, beautiful and important organisms."--Microbiology Today
