Untapped Resources: Biotechnological Potential of Peptides and Secondary Metabolites in Archaea

Archaea are an understudied domain of life often found in “extreme” environments in terms of temperature, salinity, and a range of other factors. Archaeal proteins, such as a wide range of enzymes, have adapted to function under these extreme conditions, providing biotechnology with interesting acti...
