Samenvatting

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press.

The abiotic characteristics of the environment--including temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure--present challenges to all biochemical structures and processes. This volume first examines the nature of these perturbations to biochemical systems and then elucidates the major adaptive strategies that enable organisms from all Domains of Life--Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya--to conserve common types of biochemical structures and processes across a wide range of environments.
