Extremophile bacteria are known to be able to survive in extreme conditions such as high temperature in volcanic springs or low temperature in Polar Regions, in high atmospheric pressure in the deep sea, in extreme pH and high or low salt concentration. This is all possible because they produce unique enzymes that are responsible for these characteristics of extremophiles. So, some of these enzymes are being purified and then their genome is sequenced and further, they are cloned into a host, e.g.,- amylases, xylanases, chitinases, cellulases, etc. Some are DNA modifying enzymes with potential use in pharmaceuticals, food and chemical industries and are also used in environmental applications.
