Abstract
The microbiology of extremely hot or saline habitats is a fast moving field with many new successes in the enrichment and isolation of new organisms a nd in an understanding of molecular factors that impart stability on thermo stable and halophilic biomolecules, The results of these studies have shed new light on our understanding of prokaryotic diversity and structural bioc hemistry.
