All forms of life are constantly exposed to gravity and it can be assumed that almost all organisms have developed sensors and respond in one way or the other to the unidirectional acceleration force,this books shows us some of these different ways.The book is written for plant biologists and microbiologists as well as scientists interested in space and gravitational biology. 000844289 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed July 26, 2018). 000844289 650_0 $$aGravity$$xPhysiological effect. 000844289 650_0 $$aMicroorganisms. 000844289 650_0 $$aBiotechnological microorganisms. 000844289 7001_ $$aBöhmer, Maik,$$eauthor. 000844289 7001_ $$aHäder, Donat-Peter,$$eauthor. 000844289 7001_ $$aHemmersbach, Ruth,$$eauthor. 000844289 7001_ $$aPalme, Klaus,$$eauthor. 000844289 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3319938932$$z9783319938936$$w(OCoLC)1035506856 000844289 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in space life sciences. 000844289 852__ $$bebk 000844289 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-93894-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000844289 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:844289$$pGLOBAL_SET 000844289 980__ $$aEBOOK 000844289 980__ $$aBIB 000844289 982__ $$aEbook 000844289 983__ $$aOnline 000844289 994__ $$a92$$bISE
