N1  - A detailed overview of the current state of knowledge about this special group of organisms. • Identifies extremophiles, explores their unique ecologies, explains their physiologies, and discusses biotechnological applications. • Describes the environments where these organisms reside and sheds light, at the molecular level, on the mechanisms that enable these unique organisms to survive. • Covers all known types of extremophiles (including thermophiles, psychrophiles, halophiles, acidophiles, piezophiles, and alkaliphiles). • Serves as an essential volume for a variety of scientists, including microbiologists, biochemists, physiologists, biotechnology specialists, ecologists, and physical scientists such as chemists and astronomers
