constraints governing their growth, molecular approaches to
studying microbial diversity, and life in extreme
environments
- Features bioenergetics, microbial metabolic capabilities, and
major biogeochemical pathways
- Includes the chemical reactivity of the cell surface, metal
sorption, and the microbial role in contaminant mobility and
bioremediation/biorecovery
- Looks at microbiological mineral formation and
fossilization
- Covers the function of microorganisms in mineral dissolution
and oxidation, and the industrial and environmental ramifications
of these processes
- Examines elemental cycling in biofilms, formation of
microbialites, and sediment diagenesis
- Concludes with a synopsis of the events that led to the emergence of life, evolution of metabolic processes, and the diversification of the biosphere.
