Here, we provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on the recent advances and challenges in different aspects of the theme. Written in an accessible language, the book is also a recommended as reference text for anyone interested in this thriving field of research. Over the last decades, the study of extremophiles has provided ground breaking discoveries that challenge our understanding of biochemistry and molecular biology. In the applied side, extremophiles and their enzymes have spawned a multibillion dollar biotechnology industry, with applications spanning biomedical, pharmaceutical, industrial, environmental, and agricultural sectors. Taq DNA polymerase (which was isolated from Thermus aquaticus from a geothermal spring in Yellowstone National Park) is the most well-known example of the potential biotechnological application of extremophiles and their biomolecules. Indeed, the application of extremophiles and their biologically active compounds has opened a new era in biotechnology. However, despite the latest advances, we are just in the beginning of exploring the biotechnological potentials of extremophiles. . 410 0$aGrand Challenges in Biology and Biotechnology,$x2367-1017 ;$v1 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aMicrobial genomics 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010 606 $aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000 606 $aApplied Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12010 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aMicrobial genomics. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 14$aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aApplied Microbiology. 676 $a578.758 702 $aRampelotto$b Pabulo H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253878703321 996 $aBiotechnology of Extremophiles$92544076 997 $aUNINA
