Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geomicrobes are widely distributed in various extreme environments, such as acid mine drainage (AMD), hot spring, reservoir, and deep subsurface. Functional extremophiles are very powerful forces that shape our planet’s environment.
We sincerely invite contributions to this Special Issue on aspects listed in the following keywords, covering recent advances and innovations in extreme environments, which will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the geomicrobiology field. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Acidophiles in AMD;
- Halophilic archaea in saline lakes;
- Deep-sea hydrothermal vents;
- Virus in extreme environments;
- Sulfur-reduction microorganisms in hot springs;
- Hydrocarbon degradation bacteria in subsurface biosphere;
- Groundwater microorganisms in a Karst environment.
