AI Article Synopsis
- Organisms in extreme environments develop unique defenses to survive harsh conditions like extreme pH, temperature, salinity, and pressure.
- These adaptations lead to the creation of new molecules, including simple osmolytes, lipids, and complex secondary metabolites.
- The review focuses on these novel molecules found in microorganisms that thrive in extreme growth conditions.
Article Abstract
In order to survive extremes of pH, temperature, salinity and pressure, organisms have been found to develop unique defences against their environment, leading to the biosynthesis of novel molecules ranging from simple osmolytes and lipids to complex secondary metabolites. This review highlights novel molecules isolated from microorganisms that either tolerate or favour extreme growth conditions.
