Thermophilic Microorganisms

Thermophilic microorganisms thrive in a variety of marine and terrestrial habitats. These organisms have evolved several biochemical and molecular strategies to counteract the deleterious effects of the high temperatures in their environments. Given that temperature is considered to be one of the most important physical factors controlling the adaptation and evolution of organisms the remarkable ability of thermophilic microorganisms to thrive at high temperatures makes them an ideal model to st...See More
