Marine Extremophiles: A Source of Hydrolases for Biotechnological Applications
Marine Drugs, 2015 The marine environment covers almost three quarters of the planet and is where evolution took its first steps. Extremophile microorganisms are found in several extreme marine environments, such as hydrothermal vents, hot springs, salty lakes and deep-sea

Living at the Frontiers of Life: Extremophiles in Chile and Their Potential for Bioremediation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Extremophiles are organisms capable of adjust, survive or thrive in hostile habitats that were previously thought to be adverse or lethal for life. Chile gathers a wide range of extreme environments: salars, geothermal springs, and geysers located at ...

Perspectives on the microorganism of extreme environments and their applications
Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2022 Extremophiles are organisms that can survive and thrive in conditions termed as “extreme” by human beings. Conventional methods cannot be applied under extreme conditions like temperature and pH fluctuations, high salinity, etc. for a variety of reasons.

Isolation, screening and identification of haloarchaea with chitinolytic activity from hypersaline lakes of Iran [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2019 Halophiles produce stable enzymes under extreme conditions. The scant information about chitinolytic haloarchaea led us to conduct the present study in order to isolate and screen native halophilic archaea with chitinolytic activity and to optimize the ...
