Isolation, screening and identification of haloarchaea with chitinolytic activity from hypersaline lakes of Iran [PDF]
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 ...

Extremophiles in Antarctica [PDF]
Abstract Isolation and classification of extremophiles and cyanobacteria are described. Seven thermophiles, belonging to Bacillus genus, five acidothermophiles, classified as Alicyclobacillus, and five halotolerant cocci, belonging to Micrococcus genus, were isolated from Antarctic samples of geothermal and saline soils.

Extremophilic and extremotolerant fungi
There are few places on Earth that are truly aseptic. Even environments that we may consider 'extreme', such as glaciers, deserts, or hypersaline bodies of water (Figure 1), can harbour life. The organisms that thrive in such environments - mostly microbes - are often referred to as 'extremophiles'.
