It is worth noting that six articles in this Special Issue are focused on molecules and enzymes isolated from Antarctica. This means that there is a growing interest in this habitat, most probably due to being perceived as an important source of drug discovery. In fact, the unique environment and ecological pressures of marine polar regions might be the major drivers of a selection of unique biological communities that are able to biosynthesize new compounds with diverse biological activities. It is expected that, in the near future, more marine molecules from polar regions, as well as from other extreme habitats, will find their way into biomedical and biotechnological applications.Medicine and NursingbicsscAntarctic krill (Euphausia superba)Antarcticaantibioticsanticancer compoundsantifungalantihypertensive peptide (AHTP)antimicrobial compoundsantimicrobial peptide (AMP)archaea and fungiArctic/AntarcticArctic/Antarctic environmentbioactive compoundsbiocatalysisbiodegradation capacitiesbiomedicinebiomoleculesbiosurfactantsblue biotechnologiescarotenoidchitinasecold-adaptationcold-adaptedcold-adapted bacteriacypermethrindeep hypersaline anoxic basindeep hypersaline anoxic basinsdeep seadeep-seadeep-sea spongeDeinococcusdeinoxanthindiscorhabdinecosystemenzymeextremeextremophilic microorganismsextremozymeextremozymesfungigenome surveygreen synthesis biomaterialshalophilic bacteriahalophilic enzymehalophilic microorganismsLatrunculialimits of lifemarine bioprospectingmarine biotechnologymarine natural productmarine prokaryotesmarine sedimentsmicrobial diversitymitochondrial genomemolecular dockingmolecular networkingnanotechnologyoptimizationpiezophilic enzymepolyextremophilesPseudomonaspsychrophilic enzymesecondary metabolitessilver nanoparticlesilver nitratethermophilic enzymewhiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei)Medicine and NursingGiordano Daniela(Researcher)edt78443Giordano Daniela(Researcher)othBOOK9910557147603321Bioactive Molecules from Extreme Environments3037433UNINA
