Thermophilic Microorganisms and Life at High Temperatures

Meer over het boek

The research spans a decade focused on thermophilic microorganisms, primarily conducted in Yellowstone National Park and various laboratories. It aims to explore the ecology and evolutionary relationships of these organisms, leading to the discovery of four new genera and significant insights into known species. The project also examines algal bacterial mats as models for Precambrian stromatolites, emphasizing the importance of studying microorganisms in extreme environments. The extensive work resulted in over 100 published papers, showcasing a comprehensive approach to geomicrobiology.
