I don't have my copy handy, but they do cover some organisms like that, if only in passing. For example, I remember them mentioning some acidic bacteria that grows in caves where humans can't breathe because of the lack of air. I don't think it was terribly detailed, though- more of a "hey, here's a nifty factoid".

I'm not sure what a detailed description would really provide, though.
