Microbial Life of the Deep Biosphere
Inbunden, 2014
2100 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Over the last two decades, exploration of the deep subsurface biosphere has developed into a major research area. New findings constantly challenge our concepts of global biogeochemical cycles and the ultimate limits to life. In order to explain our observations from deep subsurface ecosystems it …
Microbial Life of Cave Systems
Inbunden, 2015
1958 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The earth's subsurface contains abundant and active microbial biomass, living in water, occupying pore space, and colonizing mineral and rock surfaces. Caves are one type of subsurface habitat, being natural, solutionally- or collapse-enlarged openings in rock. Within the past 30 years, there has …
Biology of Arid Soils

Life at Vents and Seeps
Inbunden, 2017
1513 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Vents and seeps are the epitome of life in extreme environments, but there is much more to these systems than just black smokers or hydrocarbon seeps. Many other ecosystems are characterized by moving fluids and this book provides an overview of the different habitats, their specific conditions as …
Microbial Life in the Cryosphere and Its Feedback on Global Change
Av Susanne Liebner, Lars Ganzert
Inbunden, 2021
1701 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The cryosphere stands for environments where water appears in a frozen form. It includes permafrost, glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice and is currently more affected by Global Change than most other regions of the Earth. In the cryosphere, limited water availability and subzero temperatures cause …

This book will highlight advanced techniques that were recently used for studying microorganisms in extreme environments. Recent technological leaps in the study of microorganisms in the environment now make it possible to comprehensively study microbes in the environment. Extreme environments …
Life at Rock Surfaces
Challenged by Extreme Light, Temperature and Hydration Fluctuations
Av Burkhard Büdel, Thomas Friedl
Inbunden, 2021
1850 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Rock surfaces provide a challenging habitat for a broad diversity of micro- or small-sized organisms. They interact with each other forming complex communities as well with their substrate causing biodeterioration of rock. Extreme fluctuation in light, temperature and hydration are the main factors …
Microbial Evolution under Extreme Conditions
Inbunden, 2015
2100 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Today's microorganisms represent the vast majority of biodiversity on Earth and have survived nearly 4 billion years of evolutionary change. However, we still know little about the processes of evolution as applied to microorganisms and microbial populations. Microbial evolution occurred and …
