Extremophiles in Deep-Sea Environments
Many organisms in deep-sea environments are extremophiles thriving in extreme conditions: high pressure, high or low temperature, or high concentrations of inorganic compounds. This book presents the microbiology of extremophiles living in the deep sea and describes the isolation, cultivation, and taxonomic identification of microorganisms retrieved from the Mariana Trench, the world's deepest point. Also explained are techniques for recovering pressure-loving bacteria, the barophiles (piezophiles), and for whole genome analysis of Bacillus halodurans C-125. Physiological analysis of the pressure effect in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli is used to answer the question of how deep-sea organisms survive under high hydrostatic pressure. These research results are useful in both basic science and industrial applications. Readers discover a new microbial world in the ocean depths, with state-of-the-science information on extremophiles.
Biology in Physics
Biology in Physics: Is Life Matter? is a radical new book which bridges the gap between biology and physics. The aim is to promote an interdisciplinary exchange of scientific information and ideas, in order to stimulate cooperation in research. The scope of this volume explores the concepts and techniques of biophysics, and illustrates the latest advances in our understanding of many of the specific mechanisms that are used by living organisms. This volume represents a special effort to bring together the information that would allow a nonbiologically oriented physicist to appreciate the important role that physics plays in life sciences. Key Features: An introduction to biophysics for non-specialist Covers all the important topices in modern biophysics Takes account of the latest information emerging from biophysical projects Reports on novel therapeutic strategies Presents an advanced-level overview of mechanisms that regulate a variety of processes in organisms ranging from bacterial to whales
Organized Solutions
Written by top international experts in colloid and surface chemistry. Contains close to 750 literature references and nearly 400 useful figures, equations and tables.
Trends in Colloid and Interface Science XVII
This volume contains a peer reviewed selection of the papers presented at the highly successful sixteenth meeting of the European Colloid and Interface Society which was held in Paris, France in September 2002 and highlights some of the important advances in this area. The topics covered include: Molecular self assemblies; Colloids and interfaces; Long range and/or weak interactions in interfacial systems; Original ways to probe colloidal systems; Colloids in biology. The volume is of interest to both academic and industrial scientists working with colloidal and interfacial systems in chemistry, physics and biology.
