This SpringerBrief sheds new light on bioactive materials from extremophiles with the focus on the biosynthesis processes and related genomics. It deals with all aspects of the chemical compounds produced by organisms living under extreme conditions that may have potential as drugs or lead to novel drugs for human use.
Brings the molecules produced by these organisms into the microbial community Particular attention is given to the structures of the compounds and the relevant references Useful as a teaching tool in various fields ranging from chemistry to microbiology Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
