    Summary: This book focuses on the application of microbes in all fields of biology. There is an urgent need to understand and explore new microbes, their biological activities, genetic makeup and further opportunities for utilizing them. The book is divided into sections, highlighting the application of microbes in agriculture, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, bioremediation, industry, medicine and forensic sciences, and describing potential future advances in these fields. It also explores the potential role of microbes in space and how they might support life on a different planet.

    This study involved 10 patients having, in direct immunofluorescence, with covered healthy skin, a speckled IgG (+/-IgM) staining of the epidermal nuclei. The chief clinical signs seen and their respective percentages were: Raynaud's syndrome (80%), arthralgia (80%), diffuse or localised alopoecia (60%), muscular disease (40%), swollen fingers (40%), sclerodactylie (20%), cutaneous sclerosis extending beyond the extremities (30%), cutaneous signs of lupus erythematosus (30%), renal involvement (10%). In nine cases out of ten there were circulating anti-ENA antibodies at high levels, divided into anti-RNP antibodies (7/10), anti-Sm antibodies (1/10) and anti-RNP and anti-Sm antibodies (1/10). Diagnoses were divided into: lupus erythematosus (3/10), systemic scleroderma (3/10), Sharp's mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) (3/10) and non-classified connective tissue disease (1/10). The combination of speckled staining of epidermal nuclei and circulating anti-ENA antibodies cannot be considered to be specific of any particular type of connective tissue disease and the prognosis of the disease does not appear to differ from that of the usual prognosis of connective tissue disease with anti-ENA antibodies.
