Produktbeschreibung
This second edition of the book entitled “Microbial Communities and Interactions in extreme environments” focus on thermophilic and halophilic extremophiles from various ecosystems, their biodiversity, interactions with other organisms and functions within their hostile environment. Biotechnology of extremophiles and their potential agricultural and industrial applications is the focus of this edition. However, extremophiles may cope with their challenging environments. Information on biodiversity of extremophiles and their interactions with the surrounding biomes helps in understanding their ecology and functions within their respective extreme environments. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, microbiologists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, microbiology and environmental sciences.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Dilfuza Egamberdieva is a Head of Joint Uzbek-China Key Laboratory “Ecosystem and Biomes” at National University of Uzbekistan. She graduated in biology from the National University of Uzbekistan and received her PhD in Agricultural Sciences from the Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany. She conducted her postdoctoral studies at the Universities of Finland, Italy, UK, Netherlands, and Germany. She authored five books, and co-authored over 150 publications related to soil and plant microbiomes. In 2013 she received The World Academy of Sciences Award in Agricultural Sciences.

Nils-Kåre Birkeland graduated with a Dr. Philos. degree from the University of Oslo, Norway. He has work experience from four universities in Norway and as visiting scientists in USA and Japan. Currently he is Professor in Microbiology at the University of Bergen. His main research areas are extremophiles and microbial biotechnology. He has isolated and described a number of novel taxa of extremophiles and analyzed the molecular mechanisms for high-temperature adaptations and microbial diversity in extreme environments. He is appointed as editorial board member for five peer-reviewed international journals, acts as reviewer for more than ten journals and published more than 110 research papers.

Dr. Wen-Jun Li received his Ph. D in Microbiology from Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently working as Distinguished Professor in School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China. His publications include three monographs, 15 authorized patents and more than 830 research articles. His research is mainly focused on microbial diversity of those terrestrial extremophilic environments, by using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods and onmechanisms of extremophilic actinobacteria to adapt those unusual environments. He was awarded as WFCC (The World Federation for Culture Collections) Skerman Award for Microbial Taxonomy in 2007. He authored and co-authored over 10 books and 830 peer reviewed articles.
