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. The book addresses researchers and advanced students in the fields of microbiology, microbial ecology and biotechnology. 606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aMicrobial Ecology. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a579.17 702 $aStan-Lotter$b Helga$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFendrihan$b Sergiu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253909603321 996 $aAdaption of Microbial Life to Environmental Extremes$92239787 997 $aUNINA
