To remediate polluted sites, biological processes have many advantages from economic,environmental, and practical aspects. Adsorption and biodegradation of organic contaminantsand the immobilization, mobilization, and/or transformation of metal(loid)s are the mainremediation processes that can be mediated by the action of several microorganisms especiallythose extremophiles surviving in hostile environments with high concentrations of pollutants. Theaim of this Research Topic of Frontiers in Microbiology is to provide an appropriate platform topublish the latest results on the bioremediation of various pollutants by extremophilic pure culturesor microbial consortia. This Research Topic consists of 4 reviews and 7 original articles
