Extremophiles are microorganisms which thrive under conditions which are lethal to human beings, such as extremes of temperature [from -14 °C (psychrophiles) to 45 °C (thermophiles) to 110 °C (hyperthermophiles)]; extremes of pH [from 1 (acidophiles) to 9 (alkalophiles)]; very high barostatic pressure (barophiles); nonaqueous environment containing 100% organic solvents; excess heavy metal concentration; etc. These microorganisms have developed numerous special adaptations to survive in such extreme habitats, which include new mechanisms of energy transduction, regulating intracellular environment and metabolism, maintaining the structure and functioning of membrane and enzymes, etc.
