Samenvatting

This book provides comprehensive coverage of extremophiles--microbes having evolved unique adaptive mechanisms that allow them to survive and thrive in inhospitable environments of extreme temperature, pressure, or osmotic concentration.

Extremophiles are life-forms that thrive under some of the harshest conditions found on Earth. In recent years, extremophiles have been discovered in such inhospitable places as active volcanoes, deep sea vents, and the ultrasaline remnants of extinct inland seas. Extensive studies of extremophile ecology, physiology, and molecular biology have yielded valuable information about life processes at every level, with a number of important industrial applications.

Extremophiles: Microbial Life in Extreme Environments provides a detailed overview of the current state of knowledge about this fascinating group of life-forms. Over the course of eleven contributed chapters, twenty-six experts from around the globe identify known extremophiles, explore their unique ecologies and physiologies, and discuss current and future biotechnological applications.

Providing the most up-to-date coverage currently available of a rapidly advancing field, Extremophiles: Microbial Life in Extreme Environments:

Combines the latest research findings with informed speculation about extremophile evolution, ecology, physiology, and genetics
Covers all types of extremophiles, including hyperthermophiles, psychrophiles, halophiles, acidophiles, alkaliophiles, and anaerobic extremophiles
Explores current and future industrial applications, such as alkaliophile bioenergetics, metal recovery, and toxic waste disposal

An indispensable working resource for industrial microbiologists and molecular biologists, Extremophiles: Microbial Life in Extreme Environments is also a thought-provoking and accessible introduction to the field for all interested scientists.

Extremophiles are life-forms that thrive under some of the harshestconditions found on Earth. This resource provides a detailedoverview of the current state of knowledge about this fascinatinggroup of life-forms. Over the course of 11 contributed chapters, 26experts from around the globe identify known extremophiles, exploretheir unique ecologies and physiologies, and discuss current andfuture biotechnological applications.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
