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.MedicinebicsscLatrunculiaAntarcticadeep-sea spongemolecular networkingmolecular dockingdiscorhabdinArctic/Antarctic environmentbiocatalysiscold-adaptationmarine biotechnologydeep seaextremophilic microorganismsextremozymethermophilic enzymepsychrophilic enzymehalophilic enzymepiezophilic enzymechitinasecold-adaptedoptimizationantifungalPseudomonasDeinococcusdeinoxanthincarotenoiddeep-seaextremeecosystemfungibioactive compoundssecondary metaboliteshalophilic bacteriaarchaea and fungibiomoleculesbiomedicineantimicrobial compoundsanticancer compoundsgreen synthesis biomaterialssilver nitrateantibioticsnanotechnologymarine prokaryotesmicrobial diversitypolyextremophilesdeep hypersaline anoxic basinsblue biotechnologiesextremozymeslimits of lifeAntarctic krill (Euphausia superba)genome surveymitochondrial genomewhiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei)antimicrobial peptide (AMP)antihypertensive peptide (AHTP)cypermethrinbiosurfactantsbiodegradation capacitiesmarine sedimentsArctic/Antarcticdeep hypersaline anoxic basincold-adapted bacteriahalophilic microorganismsmarine natural productenzymesilver nanoparticlemarine bioprospectingMedicineGiordano Daniela(Researcher)edt78443Giordano Daniela(Researcher)othBOOK9910557147603321Bioactive Molecules from Extreme Environments3037433UNINA
