Reviews

From the reviews:

"The origin of this book is an international meeting held on halophilic microorganisms, organized in Seville, Spain, in 2001. In 22 chapters contributed by more than 100 authors, each a specialist in his field, numerous facets of the biology of these extremophilic organisms … are dealt with … . this book is a must for every researcher motivated by studies on these halophilic organisms." (Klaus Hausmann, European Journal of Protistology, Vol. 41 (1), 2005)
