The diversity of microbial extremophiles

, 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".

High-up: a remote reservoir of microbial extremophiles at Central Andean Wetlands

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The Central Andes region displays unexplored ecosystems of shallow lakes and salt flats at mean altitudes of 3,700 m. Being isolated and hostile, these so-called High-Altitude Andean Lakes (HAAL) are pristine and have been exposed to little human ...

Microbial Communities of Polymetallic Deposits’ Acidic Ecosystems of Continental Climatic Zone With High Temperature Contrasts

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Acid mine drainage (AMD) systems are globally widespread and are an important source of metal pollution in riverine and coastal systems. Microbial AMD communities have been extensively studied for their ability to thrive under extremely acidic conditions
