Resumen:
A wide variety of microorganisms inhabit extreme environments. High Altitude Andean Lakes (HAALs) over 3500 m asl presents oneof the most extreme environments on Earth, exposed to extreme conditions such as high UV irradiation, hypersalinity, desiccationand high pH. Microorganisms that resist very severe physical and chemical conditions in their habitats are termed ?extremophiles?.
