Extreme Exoworlds and the Extremophile Paradox

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2022
Extremophiles have gained prominence by providing an experimental approach to astrobiology. Extremophiles gain equal value by being part of a framework for high-level characterization of the evolutionary mechanisms that must necessarily restrict or promote their emergence and presence on solar system bodies.

The diversity of microbial extremophiles

open access: yes, 2016
Extreme environments are defined as those habitats in which human life is not possible. Thus, from a human point of view, those forms of life thriving in those conditions will be called as "extremophiles".

Extremophiles and their application to veterinary medicine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Extremophiles are organisms that can grow and thrive in harsh conditions, e.g., extremes of temperature, pH, salinity, radiation, pressure and oxygen tension. Thermophilic, halophilic and radiation-resistant organisms are all microbes, some of which are
