Thermophilic Archaea and Bacteria occupy heated environments. Advancement of next-generationsequencing (NGS), single-cell analyses, and combinations of ?omics and microscopic technologieshave resulted in the discovery of new thermophiles. This e-book consists of a review, and 10original articles authored by 94 authors. The main aim of this Research Topic of Frontiers inMicrobiology was to provide a platform for researchers to describe recent findings on the ecologyof thermophiles using NGS, functional genomics, comparative genomics, gene evolution, andextremozyme discovery
