Here, we provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on the recent advances and challenges in different aspects of the theme. Written in an accessible language, the book is also a recommended as reference text for anyone interested in this thriving field of research. Over the last decades, the study of extremophiles has provided ground breaking discoveries that challenge our understanding of biochemistry and molecular biology. In the applied side, extremophiles and their enzymes have spawned a multibillion dollar biotechnology industry, with applications spanning biomedical, pharmaceutical, industrial, environmental, and agricultural sectors. Taq DNA polymerase (which was isolated from Thermus aquaticus from a geothermal spring in Yellowstone National Park) is the most well-known example of the potential biotechnological application of extremophiles and their biomolecules. Indeed, the application of extremophiles and their biologically active compounds has opened a new era in biotechnology. However, despite the latest advances, we are just in the beginning of exploring the biotechnological potentials of extremophiles. 000755015 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 5, 2016). 000755015 650_0 $$aExtreme environments$$xMicrobiology. 000755015 7001_ $$aRampelotto, Pabulo H.,$$eeditor. 000755015 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319135205 000755015 830_0 $$aGrand challenges in biology and biotechnology. 000755015 852__ $$bebk 000755015 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-13521-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755015 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755015$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755015 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755015 980__ $$aBIB 000755015 982__ $$aEbook 000755015 983__ $$aOnline 000755015 994__ $$a92$$bISE
