last 10 years, considerable information has accumulated on the
biochemistry of archaea. In this volume, the subject as a whole
is treated in a comprehensive manner. The book brings together
recent knowledge concerning general metabolism, bioenergetics,
molecular biology and genetics, membrane lipid and cell-wall
structural chemistry and evolutionary relations, of the three
major groups of archaea: the extreme halophiles, the extreme
thermophiles, and the methanogens.Subjects included are: the
evolutionary relationship of these microorganisms to all other
living cells; special metabolic f
