SPANISH EDITION. This book will challenge the Church to return to the systematic study of the Word of God. We are in need of men, women and children with strong Biblical foundations, but many congregations have pushed Sunday School to the side. The author challenges the Church with hope of a positive response.

Focusing on the potential use in biotechnology of microorganisms that seem perfectly content in temperatures that would fry most of life as we know it, reviews aspects of ecology and isolation, taxonomy, physiology and metabolism, molecular biology and genetics, and cell structure of the Thermus str

There is considerable interest in thermophile microorganisms, in their environments, their ability to survive at temperatures which normally denature proteins, but more importantly, as a valuable resource for bio- technology. The first reported isolation of Thermus by Tom Brock was in 1969. This initiated the present era of thermophilic research with the realization that where liquid water is available, there may be no limits to the temper- ature at which microorganisms can grow. Considerable research into the ecology, physiology, metabolism, and thermostable enzymes of thermo- philes has led...
