Highly recommended by CHOICE, Oct 2018 Extremophiles are nature's
ultimate survivors, thriving in environments ranging from the
frozen Antarctic to abyssal hot hydrothermal vents. Their lifeforms
span bacteria to fishes, and are categorized as halophiles from
hypersaline environments, acidophiles from acidic waters,
psychrophiles from cold habitats, and thermophiles from warm
waters. Extremophiles: From Biology to Biotechnology
comprehensively covers the basic biology, physiology, habitats,
secondary metabolites for bioprospecting, and biotechnology of
these extreme survivors. The chapters focus on the novel genetic
and biochemical traits that lend these organisms to
biotechnological applications. Couples studies of marine
extremophile biology/genomics and extremophile culture for
biotechnological applications with the latest advances in
bio-prospecting and bio-product development Includes practical
experiments that a laboratory can use to replicate extreme habitats
for research purposes Presents latest advances in extremophile
genomics to give the reader a better understanding of the
regulatory mechanisms of extremophiles Offers insights into the
production of commercially important extremozymes, carotenoids,
bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites of medicinal value.
This unique guide serves as a resource for biotechnologists who
wish to explore extremophiles for their commercial potential, as
well as a valuable reference for teaching undergraduate, graduate
and postgraduate students.
