Halophiles
Extremophiles survive under extreme environmental conditions. Using particular cellular strategies, they can even thrive under conditions once thought too extreme for life to exist. One of these extremes is very high salt concentration, a condition which harbors halophiles. Read about high salinity environments and their inhabitants in this collection FEMS Microbiology Letters and FEMS Microbiology Ecology.

FEMS Microbes is excited to present its latest thematic issue, focusing on bacterial-viral co-infections. Host and microbial factors are critically important for influencing the severity and outcome of infection. Interactions between microbes is an understudied yet important aspect to this process.
