Symbioses and stress [electronic resource] : joint ventures in biology []. Description Book — xxxiv, p. Summary "Symbioses and Stress centers on the question of how organisms in tight symbiotic associations cope with various types of abiotic and biotic stress.
In its original sense, symbioses cover all kinds of interactions among unrelated organisms, whereas in a narrower concept, the term is often referred to as mutualism. Evolutionary biology recognizes symbiosis as an integrative process, and most fundamental evolutionary innovations arose from cooperative symbioses. Mutualisms contribute to stress tolerance, ecosystem stability, and evolutionary radiation of cooperating organisms. Modern eukaryotic cells are the result of the endosymbiotic union of prokaryotic ancestors as well as diverse exosymbiotic associations. This cooperative aggregation appears more successful than its independent parts.
This new book presents functional and evolutionary aspects of mutually beneficial symbioses among unrelated organisms. The algae world []. Dordrecht : Springer, [] Description Book — xii, pages : illustrations some color ; 24 cm. Biology of Algae 1.

For example, silent mutations could be generated by mutagenizing bacteria that were engineered to require a functional copy of the target protein for survival; virus-encoded membrane proteins could be analyzed using sequences from different virus serotypes; or the consensus structure of families of transmembrane domains could be investigated using sequences from more distant homologues. PMID: Photochemistry of atmospheric methane and its decomposition products ethene and ethyne is likely at the origin of the production of aerosols Scattergood et al. This method focuses on silent mutations, i.

Hafting, M. Critchley I Ardelean The 22 chapters are divided into two different parts which have been authored by eminent researchers from across the world. The first part, Biology of Algae, contains 10 chapters dealing with the general characteristics, classification and description of different groups such as Blue Green Algae, Green Algae, Brown Algae, Red Algae, Diatoms, Xanthophyceae, Dinophyceae, etc.
A Unknown. Habitability of other planets and satellites []. Dordrecht : Springer, Description Book — 1 online resource xxix, pages : illustrations. Is Earth the right model and therefore our Earth-centric view the only universal key to understand habitability, the origin and maintenance of life? This book tries to give answers on this question.
It gives insights into the nature of planets and their potential to harbor life as well as the role of life itself as an engine to increase the habitability of planets and satellites. Knowledge of different disciplines in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Planetology and Physics are the driving force for the discussion what might be the clues to classify a planetary body as a habitable object.
The role of the atmosphere, solar radiation, magnetism, tectonics, mineral composition, liquid water availability and the interactions with life are in the focus of the general discussion. Earth serves as the reference system to get an approximation of the factors which might be important for classification of a celestial body as a habitable object. Results from field studies and those obtained from laboratory studies in planetary simulation facilities will help to elucidate if some of the planets and satellites in our solar system are potentially habitable for terrestrial life forms.
The discussion is also enlarged in particular to exo-planets and their potential to be habitable. Further, recent technologies are presented in this book which might be suitable for remote or in situ identification of habitable environments and life as we know it. Instrumentation, detection devices, space projects and space mission designs to search for habitable niches and life is part of this work and gives insights into the challenges we might confront if we pursue the main task to detect life.
The initial step of these exploration endeavors might be to discover first habitable environments and then to look after life forms with life detecting instrumentation in the discovered habitable niches.

The topic of extraterrestrial life is currently 'hot, and the object of several congresses and conferences. While the diversity of "normal" biota is well known, life on the edge of the extremophiles is more limited.
