Reviews

Aims to provide a compresensive review of the current understanding of the meachanisms that extremophiles hav evolved to survive and grow in particular extreme environments, and how these may be exploited for biotechnological processes. - British Book News; This is essential reading for anyone working with these unusual and at times exasperating organisms...This is an excellent book which should find favour with experienced research workers, post-graduates, undergraduates and those of us who teach in these areas.
