Thermophilic Microbes in Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology Biotechnology of Thermophiles /

The existence of life at high temperatures is quiet fascinating. At elevated temperatures, only microorganisms are capable of growth and survival. Many thermophilic microbial genera have been isolated from man-made (washing machines, factory effluents, waste streams and acid mine effluents) and natu...
