Halophiles

Halophiles: Biodiversity and Sustainable Exploitation
Springer | Chemistry | October 18, 2015 | ISBN-10: 3319145940 | 456 pages | pdf | 7.3 mb

by Dinesh K Maheshwari (Editor), Meenu Saraf (Editor)
Focuses on exploitation of halophilic organisms for their multifarious role in fundamental and applied aspects
State of art of metabolites and products obtained from halophiles for use in diverse environments
This book will be the first of its kind, differently from existing publications which focus on taxonomy, phylogeny and adaptation
Written by eminent experts well versed with tools and application aspects in this subject area


From the Back Cover
The halophiles are a large unexplored reservoir of biodiversity and are a potential source for industry, agriculture and environment. The highlights include the distribution of the halophiles, their adaptation in different stress conditions, and mining of their unique antimicrobial and enzymatic potential. These poly extremophiles are excellent source of enzymes and metabolites possessing inherent ability to function in extreme conditions viz., high salt, alkaline pH and facilitating catalysis for biotechnological application in food processing, industrial bioconversion and bioremediation. In brief, we have just begun to realize the great potential and true extent of diversity and suitable industrial applications possible from halophiles
