"Notably, each chapter also addresses the potential use of extremophile microbes as whole cells or use of their products in applications such as agriculture or medicine and as fuel sources. Some discussions include accommodation of nanoparticles once the limitations of isolation and culture are resolved. An extensive list of recent references for further study is included. Overall, this book is an excellent resource for microbial diversity or related courses in biotechnology."— M. C. Pavao, Worcester State University, Choice, Aug'22
