Extremophiles are organisms capable of adjust, survive or thrive in hostile habitats that were
previously thought to be adverse or lethal for life. Chile gathers a wide range of extreme …

Several studies have demonstrated the relevance of endophytic bacteria on the growth and
fitness of agriculturally-relevant plants. To our knowledge, however, little information is …

Extremophilic microorganisms often produce novel bioactive compounds to survive under
harsh environmental conditions. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs), a constitutive part of bacterial …
