The biochemistry of archaea (archaebacteria) [electronic resource] / editors, M. Kates, D.J. Kushner, A.T. Matheson.

This volume brings together recent knowledge concerning the three major groups of archaea: extreme halophiles, extreme thermophiles and methanogens. It includes coverage of: general metabolism, bioenergetics, molecular biology and genetics, and evolutionary relations.
