Abstract excerpt
Anthropomorphically, an extreme environment is one in which physical conditions are not conducive for human life. In this review, extreme environments are defined as habitats that experience steady or fluctuating exposure to one or more environmental factors, such as salinity, osmolarity, desiccation, UV radiation, barometric pressure, pH, and temperature. Microorganisms that colonize extreme environments are...
