Abstract

Extremophiles are remarkable examples of life's resilience, thriving in hot springs at boiling temperatures, in brine lakes saturated with salt, and in the driest deserts. We review the biogeography, currently known limits of life, and molecular adaptations to extremes. See the online interactive map for additional detail on biogeography, environmental microbiology, and exemplary species. To view this SnapShot, open or download the PDF.

摘要

极端微生物是生命韧性的显著例子，它们在温泉中沸腾的温度、盐饱和的盐水湖中以及最干燥的沙漠中茁壮成长。我们回顾了生物地理学、目前已知的生命极限以及对极端环境的分子适应。要查看此 SnapShot，请打开或下载 PDF。
