Life in extreme environments—once thought incompatible with biological existence—has revolutionized our understanding of ecology, evolution, and the very origins of life. This volume offers a comprehensive and integrative framework for extremophile research, bridging the gap between fundamental biology and applied sciences.
Through a comparative and multi-methodological approach, the text synthesizes classical microbiology with cutting-edge omics technologies, bioinformatics, and systems biology. It rigorously investigates how life thrives under extreme conditions of temperature, salinity, pH, pressure, and radiation, revealing critical insights into the boundaries of habitability on Earth and beyond.
Moving beyond the view of extremophiles as mere biological curiosities, this book positions them as essential models for early evolutionary processes, invaluable resources for industrial and medical biotechnology, and analogues for potential extraterrestrial life. Organized into five thematic chapters, the work covers ecological diversity, molecular adaptation mechanisms, isolation methodologies, and genomic perspectives.
An essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in microbiology, biotechnology, and evolutionary biology, this book inspires innovative applications while advancing the search for life’s adaptability in the universe.
