This volume covers the fields of origin, evolution and phylogenesis
from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells. The eminent authors, experts
in their fields, review the three kingdoms of life (Archea,
Eubacteria and Eukarya) from molecular evolutionary levels to
ecological aspects in enigmatic habitats, including general reviews
of puzzling pro-and eukaryotic organisms and their domains. We
discuss dry habitats, thermophilic (cells in hot springs and
undersea thermal vents up to 110AC), psychrophilic (cryophiles) and
halophilic (high salt concentrations) niches which among the
harshest conditions found on Earth where microbial life is
frequently detected. Some chapters deal with the organisms which
grow in extreme pH conditions (acidity vs. alkalinity), and under
hydrostatic pressure in the deep sea, and microbial growth on
petroleum. Other contributors present their research on aerobiology
and microbes growing in various gases and various levels of
radiation, including cellular morphological modification in these
extremophilic microbes. This volume also includes the symbiotic
association between two or more organisms on the endocellular and
exocellular levels. Finally one paper identifies the extremophiles
as candidates for exobiology. This is a valuable comprehensive
volume in English that covers most of the extremophiles in a new
light with current research data. Audience: Students, lecturers and
researchers; scholars in the fields of biology, evolutionary
biology and chemistry, and other evolutionary fields, and the
intelligent layman.
