| Studying extremophiles such as halophiles on Earth may provide insights helpful in our search for life elsewhere in the universe. |
| Even right here on Earth, new categories of organisms, collectively called extremophiles, thrive in conditions inimical to human beings. |
| Ongoing discoveries of extremophiles on Earth continue to inform all of us of how much there is to learn about life. |
| Specialized microorganisms called extremophiles thrive in nuclear waste, volcanic vents, boiling geothermal geysers and even deep inside rocks. |
| Microbes are microscopic organisms that can thrive in seemingly inhospitable environments and are sometimes referred to as extremophiles. |
| Enzymes produced by extremophiles are also highly exploitable in the biocatalytic industry. |
