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 specif…

Über den Autor
AudienceResearchers and graduate students in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and astrobiology, as well as anyone interested in the search for extraterrestrial life and its technical preparations.Joseph Seckbach earned his MSc and PhD from the University of Chicago, and was postdoc at Caltech, Pasadena, CA. He is retired from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and spent periods in research in the USA: UCLA, Harvard, Baton-Rouge (LSU); in Germany (Tübingen and Munich as an exchange scholar). He has edited a series of books Cellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology and has edited more than 40 volumes and authored more than 140 research articles. His interest is in astrobiology and iron in plants (phytoferritin).Helga Stan-Lotter is emeritus Professor of Microbiology at the University of Salzburg, Austria. She obtained her PhD degree from the Technical University of Munich, Germany. She was a postdoc at the University of Calgary, Canada, a research associate at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and held a US National Research Council Fellowship at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.
