Biotechnology of extremophiles /

In this special issue review articles summarize the most outstanding features of microorganisms that can survive under extreme conditions. These microorganisms are adapted to living at 100° C in volcanic springs, at low temperatures in the cold polar seas, at high pressure in the deep sea, at very l...
