Dieses Buch diskutiert alle wichtigen Fragen zum Thema mikrobielle Biodiversität. Es erklärt genau, wie diese sich von der pflanzlichen und tierischen Biodiversität unterscheidet und wie sie entstanden ist. "Biodiversity of Microbial Life" enthält Beiträge von renommierten Experten aus aller Welt und bietet so eine einzigartige und umfassende Informationsquelle zu diesem Thema. Es ist das bislang einzige Buch, das die mikrobielle Biodiversität vom molekularen Standpunkt aus betrachtet und auch die Mikrobiologie, Aspekte der Geowissenschaft und Planetenforschung mit einbezieht. Behandelt werden u.a folgende Themenschwerpunkte: physiologische - und Stoffwechsel-Diversität, mikrobielles Leben an Land, im Wasser und in extremen Umgebungen, mikrobielle Symbiosen und der Einsatz von Mikroorganismen in der Biotechnologie.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Biodiversity of Microbial Life places the importance and novelty of the diversity of the microbial world in perspective with the biodiversity of plants and animals. Microbial diversity has driven the evolution of all life on Earth as well as the nutrient cycles, which are key to the operation of the biosphere. Microorganisms live in all ecosystems, even extreme environments not habitable to other organisms. Noted experts including Carl Woese, the originator of the Tree of Life, and Rita Colwell, who is now Director of the National Science Foundation, offer their unique perspectives on the extent and importance of microbial biodiversity. Special emphasis is placed on: * Evolution, speciation, and contrasts between microbial biodiversity and plant and animal biodiversity * Physiological and metabolic diversity of microorganisms * Biodiversity of microbial life in terrestrial and marine environments * Symbioses between microorganisms and plants, insects, and humans * Extreme environments populated exclusively or primarily by microorganisms including thermal vents and hot springs, polar sea ice environments, and subterranean ecosystems * Microorganisms and biotechnology Biodiversity of Microbial Life is an essential resource for all biologists interested in biodiversity. Discussing the major issues of microbial biodiversity, this book provides readers with a clear perspective of how it differs from that of plants and animals as well as how it has evolved. Bringing together experts from around the world, the book offers a unique source of information that spans the diversity of microbial life.
