High-pressure microbiology
2008
Michiels, Chris | Bartlett, Douglas Hoyt | Aertsen, Abram
To thrive under high pressure in the deep sea or terrestrial subsurface, microorganisms have evolved specific and unique adaptations. On the other hand, extreme pressure rapidly kills microorganisms, and pressurization is emerging as a promising technique for food preservation. Understanding the mechanisms behind microbial high pressure adaptation and inactivation provides insights into the most fundamental properties of living systems as compared to nonliving ones. This book moves from basic science to practical applications, explaining topics such as thermodynamic principles, piezophilic microorganisms, food preservation, nonpiezophilic microorganisms, and deep-biosphere and deep-sea microorganisms.
