Description for Enigmatic Microorganisms and Life in Extreme Environments
Hardback. Covers the fields of origin, evolution and phylogenesis from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells. This title reviews 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. Editor(s): Seckbach, Joseph. Series: Cellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology. Num Pages: 687 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MZMP; PSG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1171.
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 ... Read more

Reviews for Enigmatic Microorganisms and Life in Extreme Environments
"It is a good reference source for traditional extreme habitats and also provides many novel topics, such as lab-induced endosymbiosis, and good review chapters on basic physiology and metabolism." (European Journal of Phycology, 36 (2001)
