Asbestos materials were once widely used in homes, buildings, automobile brakes and many other built materials due to their strength and resistance to heat and fire, as well as to their low electrical ...

An article published in the journal Scientific Reports describes how researchers analyzed biofilm produced by bacteria found in the El Medano hot springs, located in Chile in the central Andes, and ...

Researchers have shown that extremophilic bacteria from high temperature marine environments can be used to reduce asbestos' toxicity. Asbestos materials were once widely used in homes, buildings, ...

A bioactive compound produced by an extremophilic bacterium has potential industrial applications. An international collaboration of researchers has isolated a bioactive compound in extremophilic ...

Extremophilic enzymes (extremozymes) represent a unique class of biocatalysts derived from microorganisms that flourish in conditions of extreme heat, cold, pH, salinity, pressure or toxic substrates.
