Overview

This well-illustrated volume brings together for the first time current research on all aspects of the genus Thermus-covering ecology, isolation, taxonomy, physiology, molecular biology and genetics, cell structure, and biotechnology. Featured in this reference is a 16s RNA data collection to help researchers differentiate the various species. Noteworthy chapters include a discussion of the applications and enzymes produced by Thermus as well as a study on the environments and conditions where Thermus are isolated.

Focusing on the potential use in biotechnology of microorganisms that seem perfectly content in temperatures that would fry most of life as we know it, reviews aspects of ecology and isolation, taxonomy, physiology and metabolism, molecular biology and genetics, and cell structure of the Thermus strains. Particularly looks at the enzymes and their properties, and cell walls and lipids. Intended for established academic and industrial researchers, but could also provide an introduction to the critters for undergraduates. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
