Molecular biology of extremophiles
World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1995The molecular biology of extremophiles has recently attracted much interest, both in terms of cell adaptation to extreme environmental conditions and the development of manipulative genetic techniques. Although molecular genetic techniques have been successfully applied to halophiles and methanogens, their use with hyperthermophiles is limited by the ...

Protein thermostability in extremophiles
Biochimie, 1998Thermostability of a protein is a property which cannot be attributed to the presence of a particular amino acid or to a post synthetic modification. Thermostability seems to be a property acquired by a protein through many small structural modifications obtained with the exchange of some amino acids and the modulation of the canonical forces found in ...

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2001
The industrial application of enzymes that can withstand harsh conditions has greatly increased over the past decade. This is mainly a result of the discovery of novel enzymes from extremophilic microorganisms. Recent advances in the study of extremozymes point to the acceleration of this trend.

Thermophilic and halophilic extremophiles
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1999The microbiology of extremely hot or saline habitats is a fast moving field with many new successes in the enrichment and isolation of new organisms and in an understanding of molecular factors that impart stability on thermostable and halophilic biomolecules.

Extremophiles represent heterogeneous biota from diverse habitats, such as subglacial Antarctic lakes, brine pools, and hydrothermal vents. Of the 15 categories of extremophiles, thermophiles, halophiles, psychrophiles, alkaliphiles, acidophiles, and piezophiles are identified and an overview of their physiological adaptations to exacting environmental

Extremophiles have received ever increasing interest over the last two decades and there has been almost an explosive increase in the international research effort in this field. The only thing that all extremophiles have in common is that they are regarded as some sort of microbial outsiders.

Ecology and habitats of extremophiles
World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1995This review describes the main natural extreme environments, characterized by high temperature, high and low pH and high salinity, that can be colonized by microorganisms. The environments covered are: freshwater alkaline hot springs; acidic solfatara fields; anaerobic geothermal mud and soils; acidic sulphur and pyrite areas; carbonate springs and ...

Protein stability in extremophilic archaea
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2000Extremophilic microorganisms have adapted their molecular machinery to grow and thrive under the most adverse environmental conditions. These microorganisms have found their natural habitat at the boiling and freezing point of water, in high salt concentration and at extreme pH values.

Role of Extremophiles and Extremophilic Proteins in Industrial Waste Treatment
2020Majority of the industrial products are made in variety of extreme environments. These industrial processes generate by-products that are difficult to degrade, harmful for environment, and toxic to animals and humans. These industrial by-products are present in extreme conditions such as high salt and high or low temperature.

Polysaccharides from Extremophilic Microorganisms
Origins of Life and Evolution of the Biosphere, 2004Several marine thermophilic strains were analyzed for exopolysaccharide production. The screening process revealed that a significant number of thermophilic microorganisms were able to produce biopolymers, and some of them also revealed interesting chemical compositions.
