Contents:
chapter 1 Extremophiles: Nature's Amazing Adapters -- chapter 2 Microbial Diversity and Biotechnological Potential of Microorganisms Thriving in the Deep-Sea Brine Pools -- chapter 3 Extremophile Diversity and Biotechnological Potential from Desert Environments and Saline Systems of Southern Tunisia -- chapter 4 Culture Studies on a Halophile Dunaliella salina from Tropical Solar Salterns, Bay of Bengal, India -- chapter 5 Heterotrophic Production of Phycocyanin in Galdieria sulphuraria -- chapter 6 Biology and Applications of Halophilic and Haloalkaliphilic Actinobacteria -- chapter 7 Adaptation Strategies in Halophilic Bacteria -- chapter 8 Deep-Sea Vent Extremophiles: Cultivation, Physiological Characteristics, and Ecological Significance -- chapter 9 Physiological and Biochemical Adaptations of Psychrophiles -- chapter 10 Denitrification in Extreme Environments -- chapter 11 Extremophile Enzymes and Biotechnology -- chapter 12 Carbonic Anhydrases of Extremophilic Microbes and Their Applicability in Mitigating Global Warming through Carbon Sequestration -- chapter 13 Carotenoid Production in Extremophilic Microalgae and Biotechnological Implications -- chapter 14 Secondary Metabolites from Microalgal Extremophiles and Their "Extreme-Loving" Neighbors -- chapter 15 Medicinal Utility of Extremophiles -- chapter 16 Extremophile Case Studies.
Summary: "Extremophiles thrive under environmental conditions that would kill other creatures. Extremophiles are categorized as halophiles from hypersaline environments, acidophiles from acidic waters, psychrophiles from cold habitats, and thermophiles from warm waters. Extremophile Algae: From Biology to Biotechnology focuses on species of algae from ocean environments that thrive under extreme conditions of temperature, salinity, UV radiation, environmental pollutants and nutrients. The chapters cover unique aspects of the biology of these extremophiles, with a focus on novel genetic and biochemical traits that lend these organisms to biotechnological applications."--Provided by publisher.
