Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Topical Collection entitled "Microbial Life in Extreme Environments". This Topical Collection aims to provide new insights into any aspect related of extremophiles, from the microbial ecology of diverse extreme environments to the physiology and molecular biology of extremophiles from the three domains and from the fundamental to the applied aspects of extreme microorganisms. We hope that this collection will provide an important forum for the dissemination of highly relevant research findings as well as the sharing of innovative ideas within the field.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ricardo Amils
Collection Editor
