Over the past few decades the extremes at which life thrives has continued to challenge our understanding of biochemistry, biology and evolution. As more new extremophiles are brought into laboratory culture, they have provided a multitude of potential applications for biotechnology. More recently, innovative culturing approaches, environmental genome sequencing and whole genome sequencing have provided new opportunities for the biotechnological exploration of extremophiles.
在过去几十年里，生命得以繁衍的极端环境不断挑战着我们对生物化学、生物学和进化的理解。随着越来越多新的极端微生物被引入实验室培养，它们为生物技术提供了众多潜在应用。最近，创新的培养方法、环境基因组测序和全基因组测序为极端微生物的生物技术探索提供了新机遇。
