Description
The pioneering findings of Dr. Koki Horikoshi on the discovery, research and applications of alkaliphilic bacteria are described here in their entirety. Discussion ranges from introductory background on taxonomy, cell structure and physiology, to enzymes and their applications. Alkaliphiles are a relatively recent field of research that will open avenues to a wide range of further discoveries and applications for an emerging generation of workers in bioscience and technology.
