Review of "Adaptation to life at high salt concentrations in Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya" Edited by Nina Gunde-Cimerman, Aharon Oren, and Ana Plemenitaš

The diversity of hypersaline environments and the physiology of representative organisms are only beginning to be understood. Recent progress in this area is documented in "Adaptation to life at high salt concentrations in Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya" – eds. Nina Gunde-Cimerman, Aharon Oren and Ana Plemenitas. The 34 chapters successfully paint a fascinating emerging picture of these environments and the microorganisms inhabiting them.
