Thermophilic Anaerobes: Phylogeny, Physiology and Biotechnological Applications: Grand Challenges in Biology and Biotechnology
Editat de Sean Michael Scully, Johann Orlygssonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2023
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental aspects of thermophilic anaerobes, from their environments to their applications in biotechnology. The book is divided into three parts: 1) a general overview of thermophilic anaerobes, their history, environments, and phylogenetic relationships, 2) physiological aspects of thermophilic anaerobes and their mechanisms of thermal adaptation, and 3) the biotechnological applications of thermophiles for the production of biofuels and other chemical building blocks as well as their applications in specific industries.
This comprehensive and up-to-date book, Thermophilic anaerobes - Phylogeny, Physiology and Biotechnological Applications, is a valuable resource for experienced researchers and early career scientists alike who want to learn more about this exciting and developing field.

Notă biografică
Sean Michael Scully is an adjunct at the University of Akureyri where he teaches courses related to biochemistry and microbial biotechnology. His interest in extreme environments began at an early age when he visited the thermal features at Yellowstone National Park and has grown into a fascination of extremophiles and their utility. Under the supervision of Jóhann, Sean finished his Ph.D. at the University of Iceland where he studied the amino acid metabolism of anaerobic thermophiles within the genus of Thermoanaerobacter. His current work focuses on the use of thermophilic anaerobes for the synthesis of useful molecules, particularly those with chiral centers, and the use of psychrophilic bacteria for the production of bioplastics and cold-active enzymes.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Hot environments are diverse environments that habor a wide variety of anaerobic microorganisms. Although the existence of thermophilic microorganisms has been known for over a century, it is only since the 1970s that warm environments inhabited by thermophiles have been studied in more detail. While aerobic thermophiles have received most of the interest, thermophilic anaerobes have received less attention.
