• Diversity and phylogenetic profiling of niche-specific Bacilli from extreme environments of India (2014, unknown): “In order to survive under such extreme conditions, these organisms, referred to as extremophiles, have developed adaptive features that permit them to grow optimally under one or more environmental extremes, while poly extremophiles grow optimally under multiple conditions (Rothschild and Mancinelli”
• Phylogenetic diversity and vertical distribution of a halobacterial community in the atmosphere of an Asian dust (KOSA) source region, Dunhuang City (2008, background): “Halobacteria, including Gram-positive bacteria, are capable of survival in extreme environments through their resistance to several types of stress, such as desiccation, UV irradiance, extreme temperature, oxygen limitation, and high salinity (Rothschild and Mancinelli 2001; Russell 1989).”
• Microbial mat ecosystems: Structure types, functional diversity, and biotechnological application (2018, unknown): “Photosynthesis in thermal waters presents two major obstacles, high temperatures that decrease dissolved gases such as O2 and CO2 and denaturation of proteins and other biomolecules due to high temperature; therefore, the temperature limit for the growth of photosynthetic bacteria is 75°C, the tempe”

• Atmosphere: A Source of Pathogenic or Beneficial Microbes? (2012, background): “Although microorganisms can be found in the ambient air, it is still unclear whether these are metabolically active or simply use the atmosphere as a path for the transportation of their live but largely inactive cells and spores [1].”

• Planetary habitability: lessons learned from terrestrial analogues (2014, unknown): “While analogue sites on Earth do not offer long-lived aerosols with comparable temperatures or acidities, the presence of life at high altitudes in the terrestrial atmosphere is well-known (Rothschild & Mancinelli 2001).”
