In comparison with the thermophilic and the alkaliphilic extremophiles, halophilic
microorganisms have as yet found relatively few biotechnological applications. Halophiles …

The marine environment covers almost three quarters of the planet and is where evolution
took its first steps. Extremophile microorganisms are found in several extreme marine …

Extreme marine environments have been the subject of many studies and scientific
publications. For many years, these environmental niches, which are characterized by high …

Microbial lipases are very prominent biocatalysts because of their ability to catalyze a wide
variety of reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous media. The chemo-, regio-and enantio …

Enzymes from extremophilic microorganisms usually catalyze chemical reactions in non-
standard conditions. Such conditions promote aggregation, precipitation, and denaturation …

Microorganisms that are halophilic and halotolerant have gradually developed unique
structures, physiologies, and genomes to survive. They are essential for ecological …

Global warming and the limitations of using fossil fuels are a main concern of all societies,
and thus, the development of alternative fuel sources is crucial to improving the current …

This study highlights the importance of determining substrate specificity at variable
experimental conditions. Lipases and esterases were isolated from microorganisms …

Halophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that are not only salt stable but also can
withstand and carry out reactions efficiently under extreme conditions. The aim of the study …

Compared to lipases from plants or animals, microbial lipases play a vital role in different
industrial applications and biotechnological perspectives due to their high stability and cost …
