Thermophiles Biodiversity, Ecology, and Evolution

This book is the study of microorganisms from extreme environments, and it provides a much-needed synthesis of the recent advances in the biology, biotechnology, and management of thermophilic organisms, with specific examples drawn largely from thermal springs in Yellowstone National Park. The work addresses the issues of intellectual property rights with regard to the search for novel microorganisms as sources for pharmaceuticals, and the molecular tools currently used to address microbial diversity, containing how-to sections for all professionals in ecology and conservation.Reysenbach, Anna-Loiuse is the author of 'Thermophiles Biodiversity, Ecology, and Evolution', published 2001 under ISBN 9780306461651 and ISBN 030646165X.
