Extreme environments are rich in harboring an adapted microbiota that may have a biotechnological potential for application in several areas of the economy. Understanding extremophiles and their usefulness in biotechnology involves studying their habitat, physiology, and biochemical adaptations, as well as their ability to produce biocatalysts and bioactive compounds. An ex-ample of an extremophile environment have marine origin in the Pacific Ocean. Another one is the Brazilian coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
