Es erklärt genau, wie diese sich von der pflanzlichen und tierischen Biodiversität unterscheidet und wie sie entstanden ist. \"Biodiversity of Microbial Life\" enthält Beiträge von renommierten Experten aus aller Welt und bietet so eine einzigartige und umfassende Informationsquelle zu diesem Thema. Es ist das bislang einzige Buch, das die mikrobielle Biodiversität vom molekularen Standpunkt aus betrachtet und auch die Mikrobiologie, Aspekte der Geowissenschaft und Planetenforschung mit einbezieht. Behandelt werden u.a folgende Themenschwerpunkte: physiologische - und Stoffwechsel-Diversität, mikrobielles Leben an Land, im Wasser und in extremen Umgebungen, mikrobielle Symbiosen und der Einsatz von Mikroorganismen in der Biotechnologie.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Perspective: Microbiology in Transition (C.
