Summary:

<P>This book disseminates the interdisciplinary relationship, some explored, and some yet to be, amongst biology and the inorganic world. The book studies the genesis of biology in the metal world, the various physiological aspects behind their existence in such a turgid environment, their applications in the mineral sector, metal extraction, and material synthesis. A major part of this book and many chapters emphasizes the importance of microbes in environmental remediation in the mining industries from core deep ground sample processing to preservation of finished products.</P>
