When Science Meets Creativity: Elevating Microbiology Education With Art-Two Personal Experiences. [PDF]
This article describes two personal experiences employing diverse forms of art to communicate important microbiological concepts to our fellow citizens. We highlight the importance of disseminating the many beneficial activities of microbes by novel ways, contributing to the scientific literacy of ordinary people, including underrepresented and ...

Extremophiles in a changing world. [PDF]
AbstractExtremophiles and their products have been a major focus of research interest for over 40 years. Through this period, studies of these organisms have contributed hugely to many aspects of the fundamental and applied sciences, and to wider and more philosophical issues such as the origins of life and astrobiology.

Bioprospecting of Novel Extremozymes From Prokaryotes—The Advent of Culture-Independent Methods
Extremophiles are remarkable organisms that thrive in the harshest environments on Earth, such as hydrothermal vents, hypersaline lakes and pools, alkaline soda lakes, deserts, cold oceans, and volcanic areas.

'All About' Extremophiles. [PDF]
Despite common perception, most of Earth is what is often referred to as an 'extreme environment.' Yet to the organisms that call these places home, it is simply that (home). They have adapted to thrive in these environments and, in the process, have evolved many unique adaptations at the molecular- and 'omic-level.

Extreme exoworlds and the extremophile paradox [PDF]
Extremophiles have gained prominence by providing an experimental approach to astrobiology. Extremophiles gain equal value by being part of a framework for high-level characterisation of the evolutionary mechanisms that must necessarily restrict or promote their emergence and presence on solar system bodies.
