"Microbiology the Beginning" is an informative website based on extreme organisms. These extremophiles as they are called survive in the harshest and strangest of environments. These environments range from hot to cold to dry. This adds to the theory that there may be organisms that are able to survive on other planets. These ideas are supported through easily accessible links throughout the site. Teachers may find this website useful in teaching students about extremophiles and the environments in which they live.
