In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Thermophiles 2. Environments Suitable for Growth of Thermophiles 3. Molecular Adaptations 4. Biotechnological Applications. Meaning of Thermophiles: The thermophiles are the microorganisms that grow at high temperature of 55°C or more (min. 45°C, optimum between 55-65°C, maximum 80°C). Some micro-organisms grow even at more high […]
