Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Microbes are organisms that are not visible to naked eyes. They are cosmopolitan and are even found in extreme environments. They can be found in extremely acidic environments or alkaline environments, in extremely hot environments such as hydrothermal vents of deep sea and hot springs, in extremely freezing environments such as Antarctic ice, and also in extremely salty environments.
