This entirely updated second edition provides an overview on the
biology, ecology and biodiversity of extremophiles. Unusual and
less explored ecosystems inhabited by extremophiles such as
marine hypersaline deeps, extreme cold, desert sands, and
man-made clean rooms for spacecraft assembly are presented. An
additional focus is put on the role of these highly specialized
microorganism in applied research fields, ranging from
biotechnology and nanotechnology to astrobiology. Examples such
as novel psychrophilic enzymes, compounds from halophiles, and
detection strategies for potential extraterrestrial life forms
are discussed in detail.
