Current Perspectives on Extremophiles and Their Biomolecules

Extremophiles are torch-bearers running ahead of us capable of paving our way through the unforeseen extremities. They (extremophiles from polar regions, thermal springs, deserts, hypersaline water bodies, deep sea floor, etc) have not only evolved rich reservoirs of biomolecules that can work under harsh industrial and climate conditions when applied for various purposes, but they do exhibit a series of adaptations that may serve as guiding principles to tailor the life forms for thriving under conditions of climate change. The advances in these emerging fields call for bringing together the experts on a common platform to facilitate the cross-flow of ideas and results, thus expediting our preparedness for a sustainable earth and dealing with climate change problems.
