Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of Extremophiles de R. A. Herbert

Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of Extremophiles

Editat de R. A. Herbert, R. J. Sharp R. A. Herbert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 1991
The overall aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the mechanisms that the micro-organisms known as extremophiles have evolved to survive and grow in particular extreme environments, and how these may be, or are being, exploited for biotechnological processes. Whilst the volume is aimed primarily at established research workers in universities, research institutes and industry, it is hoped that it will also provide a stimulating introduction to the subject for senior undergraduates and postgraduates who are interested in organisms which inhabit unusual and extreme environments. In future years these organisms may form the basis of new biotechnologically-based industries.

Recenzii

Aims to provide a compresensive review of the current understanding of the meachanisms that extremophiles hav evolved to survive and grow in particular extreme environments, and how these may be exploited for biotechnological processes. - British Book News; This is essential reading for anyone working with these unusual and at times exasperating organisms...This is an excellent book which should find favour with experienced research workers, post-graduates, undergraduates and those of us who teach in these areas. Society for General Microbiology Quarterly
