Extremophile as Astrobiological Models
The search for extraterrestrial life is concentrating on extremophiles because of their unusual properties; this book presents new data of microorganisms tolerating harsh living conditions which enlarge the knowledge of living beings.The search for extraterrestrial life has been declared as a goal for the 21th century by NASA, ESA and other space agencies. For meaningful missions, careful planning of sites to be selected and knowledge of their properties is essential. The study of extremophiles on Earth has provided already rich information about the physico-chemical limits of life; these studies need to be extended and focused on the specifi…
