Extremophiles have been studied for many decades - these microorganisms can thrive under a vast range of conditions, including extreme temperature, pH, pressure, radiation, salinity, energy, and nutrient limitation. Life in extreme environments has evolved to render solutions that overcome the challenges presented by such conditions. Among these solutions include extremozymes and extremolytes, an invaluable collection of natural, renewable, and biological resources with immense potential for applications aimed at the development of a sustainable bio-economy, especially in biotechnology and other industrial sectors. In line with this observation, extremophilic DNA polymerases have been instru...
This volume presents a collection of versatile methodologies to investigate prokaryotic gene regulation, with focus on the different levels of information processing and usefulness for various model organisms, whether archaeal, bacterial, or both. The chapters in this book are divided into four sections. Section One covers methods that enable the study of the structure of the bacterial/archaeal chromosome, the main template for all gene regulatory processes, and its epigenetic modification. Section Two looks at a selection of approaches that enable higher levels of understanding of transcription initiation, a key step in information processing. Section Three discusses the investigation of re...
Since their identification four decades ago, Archaea have proven to be a continuous source of exciting discoveries, contributing to the characterization of their unique molecular mechanisms, metabolisms, phylogeny, and cell biology. These discoveries have revealed the importance that Archaea play in ecology, biotechnology and the human microbiome. In addition, they highlighted the key position that Archaea occupy in the tree of life, bringing us closer to elucidating the origin and early forms of life. Despite these important findings and the larger audience that Archaea have consequently gained, much remains unexplored. Thanks to the recent and ongoing developments in the field, technical limitations at the often-extreme archaeal growth conditions are being resolved, allowing archaeal researchers to answer open and upcoming questions. This promises exciting new findings in the near future that will continue to build on our understanding of the various fields of archaeal biology.
Cindy and Clint are enjoying their honeymoon when paradise quickly turns into hell. Clint drowns in a freak accident in the ocean.

"The definitive book on the iconic couturier and fashion revolutionary Thierry Mugler. Thierry Mugler has, since the creation of his label in 1974, continuously revolutionized contemporary fashion with his singular, imaginative vision. Beyond creating his iconic ready-to-wear and haute couture garments, Mugler inhabits multiple worlds as a photographer, director, choreographer, and perfumer. Oversized and richly illustrated with 450 images, this book is a luxury object fit for the haute couture world of Mugler. Lavishly designed, the book traces Mugler's career and reveals never-before-seen material by photographers such as Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, and David LaChapelle. This book accompanies the first exhibition on Mugler, produced and toured by the Montreal Museum Fine Arts."--from the publisher.
