Extremophiles, organisms thriving in extreme environments such as hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and hypersaline ecosystems, have garnered significant attention due to their remarkable adaptability and biotechnological potential. This review presents recent advancements in isolating and characterizing extremophiles, highlighting their applications in enzyme production, bioplastics, environmental management, and space exploration. The unique biological mechanisms of extremophiles offer valuable insights into life's resilience and potential uses in industry and astrobiology.
极端微生物是指那些在诸如温泉、深海热液喷口和高盐生态系统等极端环境中繁衍生息的生物。由于其卓越的适应性和生物技术潜力，它们已引起了广泛关注。本综述介绍了在分离和鉴定极端微生物方面的最新进展，重点阐述了它们在酶生产、生物塑料、环境管理及太空探索中的应用。极端微生物独特的生物学机制为生命的韧性以及在工业和天体生物学中的潜在用途提供了宝贵的见解。
