Adaption of Microbial Life to Environmental Extremes: Novel Research Results and Application

Editat de Helga Stan-Lotter, Sergiu Fendrihan

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 aug 2018

This entirely updated second edition provides an overview on the biology, ecology and biodiversity of extremophiles. Unusual and less explored ecosystems inhabited by extremophiles such as marine hypersaline deeps, extreme cold, desert sands, and man-made clean rooms for spacecraft assembly are presented. An additional focus is put on the role of these highly specialized microorganism in applied research fields, ranging from biotechnology and nanotechnology to astrobiology. Examples such as novel psychrophilic enzymes, compounds from halophiles, and detection strategies for potential extraterrestrial life forms are discussed in detail.

The book addresses researchers and advanced students in the fields of microbiology, microbial ecology and biotechnology.

Recenzii

“This book is a revised and expanded edition of a collective work, first published in 2011 … . readers will experience a real taste of the topics being explored in the extremophile community. The excellent color photographs on glossy paper also help uninitiated readers gain a better sense of the field-based aspects of microbial habitability studies. This book is for libraries with holdings in astrobiology. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.” (P. K. Strother, Choice, Vol. 55 (1), September, 2017)
