基本説明

Presents the most comprehensive survey of these fascinating microorganisms. Because of their capacity to live and thrive in harsh environments, extremophiles are believed to have played a significant role in shaping all life on Earth and may hold the keys to the search for extra-terrestrial life. Owing to their unique characteristics, these organisms also have become vitally important to the field of biotechnology. The 28 chapters written by experts around the globe identify extremophiles, explore their unique ecologies, explain their physiologies, and discuss biotechnological applications.

Full Description


A detailed overview of the current state of knowledge about this special group of organisms.Identifies extremophiles, explores their unique ecologies, explains their physiologies, and discusses biotechnological applications. Describes the environments where these organisms reside and sheds light, at the molecular level, on the mechanisms that enable these unique organisms to survive. Covers all known types of extremophiles (including thermophiles, psychrophiles, halophiles, acidophiles, piezophiles, and alkaliphiles). Serves as an essential volume for a variety of scientists, including microbiologists, biochemists, physiologists, biotechnology specialists, ecologists, and physical scientists such as chemists and astronomers.This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
