商品描述
This book explores microbial lifestyles, biochemical adaptations, and trophic interactions occurring in extreme environments. By summarizing the latest findings in the field it provides a valuable reference for future studies. Spark ideas for biotechnological and commercial exploitation of microbiomes at the extremes of life are presented. Chapters on viruses complement this highly informative book.
In a vertical journey through the microbial biosphere it covers aspects of cold environments, hot environments, extreme saline environments, and extreme pressure environments, and more. From the deep sea, through polar deserts, up to the clouds in the air - the diversity of microbial life in all habitats is described, explored, and comprehensively reviewed. Possible biotechnical applications are discussed. This book aims to provide a useful reference for those who want to start a research program in extreme microbiology and, hopefully, inspire new research directions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了極端環境中微生物的生活方式、生化適應及營養互動。通過總結該領域的最新研究成果，為未來的研究提供了寶貴的參考。書中提出了在生命極限的微生物組的生物技術和商業開發的創意。關於病毒的章節補充了這本資訊豐富的書籍。
在對微生物生物圈的垂直探索中，本書涵蓋了寒冷環境、熱環境、極高鹽度環境和極高壓環境等方面。從深海、極地沙漠到空中的雲層，描述、探索並全面回顧了各種棲息地中微生物生命的多樣性。書中還討論了可能的生物技術應用。
本書旨在為希望開始極端微生物學研究計劃的人提供有用的參考，並希望能激發新的研究方向。
作者簡介
Caroline Chénard is a viral ecologist with extensive knowledge and experience working with viruses infecting phytoplankton. Her main research interests include viral genomic and metagenomic as well as virus-host interactions. Some of her previous works include the discovery of a new lineage of viruses infecting polar cyanobacteria. She also has conducted many scientific cruises and field work in both polar regions.
Federico Lauro is a microbial ecologist who pioneered the bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data to study marine plankton ecology. He has substantial expertise in experimental and computational approaches, including the latest "omic" technologies to study microbial communities. His research has investigated the molecular basis of adaptations to low temperature and high hydrostatic pressure. He received the Ermanno Bellio prize in 2000 and the Lowell Thomas Award in 2015.

Caroline Chénard 是一位病毒生態學家，擁有豐富的知識和經驗，專注於研究感染浮游植物的病毒。她的主要研究興趣包括病毒基因組和元基因組，以及病毒與宿主之間的相互作用。她之前的一些研究工作包括發現一種新的病毒系譜，該病毒感染極地藍藻。她還在兩個極地地區進行了多次科學考察和實地工作。
Federico Lauro 是一位微生物生態學家，他在生物信息學分析元基因組數據以研究海洋浮游生物生態方面開創了先河。他在實驗和計算方法方面擁有豐富的專業知識，包括最新的“組學”技術來研究微生物群落。他的研究調查了對低溫和高靜水壓適應的分子基礎。他於2000年獲得Ermanno Bellio獎，並於2015年獲得Lowell Thomas獎。
