"Biodiversity is seen everywhere including microorganisms, human [sic], plants and animals. Microbes are explored from the coldest to the hottest areas in the world. The hotspots are zones with extremely high microbial activities. The knowledge of microbial diversity from these hotspots is very limited. Characterizing microbial communities in these areas may add into the heritage of the hotspots. It is therefore necessary to conserve this biodiversity for the balance in the environment. The book Microbial Diversity and Ecology in Hotspots covers the following important aspects viz., Microbial ecology and diversity in hotspots; Extremophiles in biodiversity hotspots; Conservation of biodiversity and microbial association; Marine microbial hotspots-- especially related to corals; Phyllosphere and rhizosphere in the hotspots; Diversity of actinomycetes in Western Ghats; Molecular analyses of microbial diversity in different ecology; Legal protection of microbial biodiversity, etc."--Page 4 of cover.
