商品描述

Many current extremophile studies have been undertaken on species suited to extreme temperatures. In contrast, thermophiles (hot temperature-loving microbes) have received far more attention than psychrophiles (cold-loving microbes). On the other hand, scientific research on cold-adapted microbes (precisely polar microbes) has surged by a factor of ten in the last decades. Regarding the size of cold habitats, psychrophiles, or cold-loving creatures, thermophiles should outnumber thermophiles because a considerable percentage of the Earth's biosphere never sees temperatures beyond 5 C. Oceans span over three-quarters of the planet, with deep water masses between 2 and 4 C regardless of latitude. In addition to providing a constantly frigid terrestrial habitat, Antarctica also provides an aquatic niche in the surrounding ice that melts throughout the summer. Examples of cold ecosystems include permafrost soils, high alpine soils, cold deserts, cold caverns, marine sediments, snow, glaciers, and sea ice.

This book discusses the different aspects of microbial diversity and their adaptations to extreme polar regions, with a view to their biotechnological exploitation for future research. The chapters cover the complete atlas of up-to-date information. The contents offer molecular diversity and molecular and genetic adaptations of polar inhabitant microbes with a focus on low-temperature-adapted microorganisms. It describes representative groups, the habitats in which they live, and the strategies they employ to cope with the cold. The book will be of interest to all scientists interested in how life copes in deep freezers.

It is warranted to mention that for survival in frigid environments and climate change, these organisms have established specific regulatory mechanisms to overcome environmental cues. Over the last decade, remarkable progress has been made to uncover microbial adaptation to anthropogenic activities such as high irradiance, nutritional deprivation, UV-B radiation, heat, cold, desiccation, heavy metals, and radiation. However, studies have opened the doors for a basic understanding of gene regulatory pathways for morphological, physiological, metabolic, and genetic adaptations to various environmental stresses.

Unfortunately, the polar regions' adaptation mechanisms and molecular diversity are primarily unexplored. Even research is scattered for a long time, and researchers are looking for a common platform to have a complete snapshot in one place. Hence, the present book content has been designed to discuss the different aspects of microbial diversity and their adaptations to extreme polar regions for their biotechnological exploitation for future research. In addition, chapters have been designed to deal with the complete atlas of up-to-date information. Hence, the book will offer molecular diversity and molecular and genetic adaptations of polar inhabitant microbes.

The book will focus on low-temperature-adapted microorganisms. With cutting-edge knowledge, it will describe representative groups, the habitats in which they live, and the strategies they employ to cope with the cold. Furthermore, the book will offer valuable information to all those scientists interested in knowing how life manages in deep freezers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

許多當前的極端微生物研究集中於適應極端溫度的物種。相比之下，熱愛高溫的微生物（熱微生物）受到的關注遠超於喜愛低溫的微生物（冷微生物）。另一方面，針對冷適應微生物（特別是極地微生物）的科學研究在過去幾十年中激增了十倍。就冷棲息地的規模而言，冷微生物的數量應該超過熱微生物，因為地球生物圈中有相當一部分地區的溫度從未超過5°C。海洋覆蓋了地球的四分之三，無論緯度如何，深水區的水溫在2°C到4°C之間。除了提供一個持續寒冷的陸地棲息地外，南極洲還提供了一個在周圍冰層中形成的水生生境，這些冰層在夏季會融化。冷生態系統的例子包括永久凍土、高山土壤、寒冷沙漠、冷洞穴、海洋沉積物、雪、冰川和海冰。

本書討論微生物多樣性及其對極地極端環境的適應，並著眼於其在未來研究中的生物技術開發。各章節涵蓋了最新資訊的完整圖譜。內容提供了極地棲息微生物的分子多樣性以及分子和遺傳適應，重點在於低溫適應的微生物。書中描述了代表性群體、它們所生活的棲息地以及它們應對寒冷的策略。本書將吸引所有對生命如何在深冷環境中生存感興趣的科學家。

值得一提的是，這些生物在寒冷環境和氣候變化中的生存，已建立了特定的調控機制以克服環境信號。在過去十年中，對微生物適應人為活動（如高輻射、營養缺乏、UV-B輻射、熱、寒冷、乾燥、重金屬和輻射）的研究取得了顯著進展。然而，這些研究為理解基因調控途徑在形態學、生理學、代謝和遺傳適應各種環境壓力方面打開了大門。

不幸的是，極地地區的適應機制和分子多樣性仍然主要未被探索。即使研究長期以來也相對分散，研究人員正在尋找一個共同的平台，以便在一個地方獲得完整的快照。因此，本書的內容旨在討論微生物多樣性及其對極端極地環境的適應，以便未來的生物技術開發。此外，各章節設計為處理最新資訊的完整圖譜。因此，本書將提供極地棲息微生物的分子多樣性以及分子和遺傳適應。

本書將重點放在低溫適應的微生物上。憑藉尖端知識，將描述代表性群體、它們所生活的棲息地以及它們應對寒冷的策略。此外，本書將為所有對生命如何在深冷環境中生存感興趣的科學家提供有價值的信息。
