Neuware - Extremophiles are life-forms that thrive under some of the harshest conditions found on Earth. In recent years, extremophiles have been discovered in such inhospitable places as active volcanoes, deep sea vents, and the ultrasaline remnants of extinct inland seas. Extensive studies of extremophile ecology, physiology, and molecular biology have yielded valuable information about life processes at every level, with a number of important industrial applications.
