Produktbeschreibung

The halophiles are a large unexplored reservoir of biodiversity and are a potential source for industry, agriculture and environment. The highlights include the distribution of the halophiles, their adaptation in different stress conditions, and mining of their unique antimicrobial and enzymatic potential. These poly extremophiles are excellent source of enzymes and metabolites possessing inherent ability to function in extreme conditions viz., high salt, alkaline pH and facilitating catalysis for biotechnological application in food processing, industrial bioconversion and bioremediation. In brief, we have just begun to realize the great potential and true extent of diversity and suitable industrial applications possible from halophiles.

Rezensionen

"Each chapter is written in a very clear style and has reached also very useful reference ... . the book 'Halophiles: Biodiversity and Sustainable Exploitation' is a very valuable reading for students as well as for already known scientists working in the field." (Ioan I. Ardelean, Romanian Journal of Biology, Vol. 61 (1-2), 2016)
