Description and Table of Contents
Description
Dealing with an important and interesting group of microorganisms, those capable of living at very high temperatures, this book discusses the biochemical, molecular and genetic properties of these organisms, examining their potential biotechnological uses in both industry and agriculture - in particular, in the production of fuels and chemicals, in waste treatment systems, and for mining. The book provides a concise overview of the group and gives useful illustrations of high temperature habitats, and contains the latest information on molecular genetics.
