Description of Thermophilic Microbes in Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology
It is now very well known that microbial life can thrive in the upper as well as lower temperature limits that are known to be compatible with life. Temperature provides a series of challenges, from structural devastation due to ice crystal formation at one extreme to the denaturation of biomolecules and cell components at the other. A wide variety of microorganisms have, however, been discovered that can overcome these challenges. The thermophiles, the so-called heat-loving organisms, tolerate high temperatures and also usually require elevated temperatures for their growth and survival.
Thermophilic microbes or organisms able to grow around 60°C have been known for over 90 years, while hyperthermophilic organisms able to grow over 80°C have been recognized only three decades ago. The currently known upper temperature limit for life is 121°C. Within the past few decades, a great diversity of thermophilic microbes have been isolated that exist in both natural and arti fi cial hot environments.
The microbial diversity of these habitats as analyzed by molecular biology techniques has indicated that the diversity of thermophilic organisms extends much further than those species already isolated. There are a large number of metagenomic projects being undertaken to look at complete microbial and viral communities in these environments.
