Printed in Germany (not an economy / Indian edition). Book looks unread, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show gentle shelfwear. Published without a dust jacket. -- Once considered exceptional rarities, extremophiles have become attractive objects for basic and applied research ranging from nanotechnology to biodiversity to the origins of life and even to the search for extraterrestrial life. Several novel aspects of extremophiles are covered in this book; the focus is firstly on unusual and less explored ecosystems such as marine hypersaline deeps, extreme cold, desert sands, and man-made clean rooms for spacecraft assembly. Secondly, the increasingly complex field of applications from extremophile research is treated and examples such as novel psychrophilic enzymes, compounds from halophiles, and detection strategies for potential extraterrestrial life forms are presented. -- Contents: Physico-chemical boundaries of life [Introduction; Brief history of life on Earth; Prokaryotes, eukaryotes, the tree of life and viruses; Extreme environments and their inhabitants (Temperature ranges of microorganisms; Low water activity: halophiles, osmophiles, and xerophiles; Extremes of pH and low nutrients; High pressure; Viruses; Extremophilic multicellular organisms); Microbial survival of extreme conditions; Concluding remarks]; Microbial diversity in deep hypersaline anoxic basins [Introduction; Localization and origin of DHABs (Anoxic brine basins in the Red Sea: Shaban and Kebrit Deeps; Orca basin and other seafloor anoxic brines in the Gulf of Mexico; Eastern Mediterranean Sea: DHABs and the Chefren mud volcano); Geochemical features of DHABs (DHABs of the Red Sea & Gulf of Mexico & Eastern Mediterranean Sea & Mediterranean Sea: Chefren mud volcano (Nile Deep Sea Fan)); Microbial life in the DHABs: biodiversity and adaptation (Prokaryotic biodiversity of the Kebrit and Shaban Deeps, Red Sea; Phylogenetic analyses of the microbial communities colonizing different seafloor hypersaline brines of the Gulf of Mexico; Investigation of the microbiota composition inhabiting the Chefren mud volcano (Nile Deep Sea Fan); Stratified microbial communities at the deep seawater-brine interface of hypersaline anoxic basins of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea); Concluding remarks]; Microbial speciation in the geothermal ecosystem [Introduction; Geothermal areas (High- and low-temperature fields; Origin of hot spring water; Surface characteristics of geothermal areas); Ecology of thermophiles (Temperature; pH; Energy sources as a selective pressure); Biogeography of thermophiles (Dispersal of thermophiles; Biogeography of Thermus; Ecological adaptations of Thermus]; Bacterial adaptation to hot and dry deserts [Introduction; Characteristic of hot and dry deserts with emphasis on Sahara; Mechanisms for desiccation tolerance; Counting and describing bacterial populations in desert environments; Ramlibacter and its life cycle; Deinococcus and DNA repair; Conclusions]; Extremophiles in Antarctica: life at low temperatures [Introduction; Environmental extremes associated with the Antarctic; Extreme environments that also occur in the Antarctic; Extreme environments particular to the Antarctic; Key Antarctic extremophiles; Biodiversity; Methodology; Adaptations; Discussion and future perspectives]; Anhydrobiotic rock-inhabiting cyanobacteria: potential for astrobiology and biotechnology; Psychrophilic microorganisms as important source for biotechnological processes; Halophilic microorganisms from man-made and natural hypersaline environments: physiology, ecology, and biotechnological potential; Applications of extremophiles in astrobiology: habitability and life detection strategies; Extremophiles in spacecraft assembly clean rooms, Books<
