Modern methods and approaches, such as the analysis of molecular
sequences to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms, have
provided vast new sets of data to further our understanding
ofliving organisms, but there remain enigmas in the biological
world that will keep scientists working and thinking for decades.
Microorganisms by virtue of their small size and almost unbounded
diversity provide ample examples of intriguing mysteries that are
being challenged with all of the techniques the modern scientific
arsenal can provide. One whole arena of this battle to resolve
puzzling mysteries about various microorganisms is the almost
unbelievable ability of many micro-organisms to live in extreme
environments. Whether the challenge is extreme heat, cold,
pressure, hyper salinity, alkalinity or acidity, some
micro-organisms live now where no life might seem possible. This
fascinating state of affairs is the context for this present volume
edited by Joseph Seckbach. This Volume is a compilation of many of
the especially interesting questions and biological challenges that
arise in the consideration of microorganisms in general and the
extremophiles in particular."
