Abstract

A variety of microbes that can thrive in extreme environment are called extremophiles and they produce protein called extremozymes. Extreme environment include high temperature, pressure, pH, salt concentration and low temperature, Nutrient concentration and water availability and also condition having heavy metal, radiation. These organism have evolved several structural and chemical adaption, which allow them to survive in extreme environment. The enzymes of these microbes, which function in extreme environments (extremozymes), have several biotechnological applications. Use of such enzymes in increasing the reactions is achieved in food and paper industries, in removal of detergents, drugs, toxic wastes, drilling for oil has been included and studied extensively. Antimicrobials, compatible solutes and other microbial compounds are also finding new uses in recent days.
