Alkaliphiles: Some application of their products for biotechnology.
Over the last years, extremophiles with its different categories, thermophiles (high temperature), acidophiles (low pH),
alkaliphiles (high pH), halophiles (high salinity), and psychrophiles (low temperature) [7], have fascinated researchers in many fields, due to their ability to withstand and function under extreme conditions.
The strong positive influence by garlic mustard density on Armadillidiidae, potentially classified as
alkaliphiles (van Straalen & Verhoef 1997), is likely related to an increase in soil and litter pH in garlic mustard colonized areas (Rodgers et al.
Alkaline detergent enzymes from
alkaliphiles: enzymatic properties genetics and structures.
Extremophiles can be classified into thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles,
alkaliphiles, halophiles, and others [6].

Nevertheless there are bacterial strains which can thrive outside this limit which belongs to the group of acidophiles (grows in lower pH) or
alkaliphiles (grows in higher pH).
