"...any scientist working on any aspect of extremophiles will need a copy of this book." (Chemtracts - Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Vol. 12, Number 10)
Product Description
Extremophiles are life-forms that thrive under some of the harshest conditions found on Earth. This resource provides a detailed overview of the current state of knowledge about this fascinating group of life-forms. Over the course of 11 contributed chapters, 26 experts from around the globe identify known extremophiles, explore their unique ecologies and physiologies, and discuss current and future biotechnological applications.
