Marine Polyextremophiles and Their Biotechnological Applications
, 2017 This chapter describes the versatility of marine microorganisms. They have inherent ability to grow and thrive under polyextremes. The bioactive compounds such as hydrolases, unique pigments, alkaloids, peptides, colored antibiotics, exopolysaccharides, siderophores, ectoine, and proteins produced and released under stressful conditions have potential ...

Genome-guided prediction of acid resistance mechanisms in acidophilic methanotrophs of phylogenetically deep-rooted Verrucomicrobia isolated from geothermal environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Verrucomicrobia are a group of microorganisms that have been proposed to be deeply rooted in the Tree of Life. Some are methanotrophs that oxidize the potent greenhouse gas methane and are thus important in decreasing atmospheric concentrations of the ...

Life on the Edge and Astrobiology: Who Is Who in the Polyextremophiles World?
Cellular Origin and Life in Extreme Habitats, 2013 Life exists in almost every ecological niche on Earth, and the majority of living organisms thrive in “normal” or “common” conditions. These are the environments that we are familiar with from our daily life. The organisms distributed under those conditions are at moderate temperature (5 to ~40 °C), 1 atm sea level pressure, with our known gas ...

Polyextremophile engineering: a review of organisms that push the limits of life. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolNature exhibits an enormous diversity of organisms that thrive in extreme environments. From snow algae that reproduce at sub-zero temperatures to radiotrophic fungi that thrive in nuclear radiation at Chernobyl, extreme organisms raise many questions about the limits of life. Is there any environment where life could not “find a way”?
