Recent astrobiology studies have focused in the search for life inEarth-like planets within the Habitable Zone. In an attempt to findpossible extraterrestrial forms of life, it becomes fundamental to studyextreme life in our own planet, known as ``extremophiles''. In thepresent work, a study was conducted regarding the capability of thepoly-extremophilic bacterial strain Brevibacterium linens AE038-8 toresist different stress factors. Strain AE038-8 was able to grow inpresence of high salt concentrations and different doses of UVradiation. In addition to the extreme resistance observed in previousresearch of this strain, we propose B. linens AE038-8 as a modelmicroorganism for astrobiology studies.
