It is well known that microorganisms are omnipresent. It would be fascinating for scientists to encounter organisms that not only grow in normal conditions but are able to thrive in extreme conditions. Such organisms are suitably termed extremophiles including thermophiles, psychrophiles, alkaliphiles, piezophiles, and marine extremophiles, to name a few. The UN General Assembly has proposed 17 goals with 169 targets to attain sustainable development by 2030 with a motto of health for all. Microorganisms play a vital role in the well-being of not just humans but animals as well as plants. Of the 17 goals, goals 14 and 15 address life in water and life on land and the need for protecting our Biodiversity, both on land and sea. The soil on land is a hub for various microbes, likewise, microorganisms show equal presence in marine habitats, able to survive the extremes of conditions. The ability of these microbes to cope with such extremes of conditions makes them an ideal candidate in search of metabolites that would be suitable candidates for various industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It thus becomes significant to analyze and study extremophiles for their properties that include primary and secondary metabolites obtained from them. Enzymes from these extremophiles, known as extremozymes, could potentially be more stable which is an important aspect for various industrial aspects including pharmaceutical purposes. The present article dwells on extremophiles and the extremozymes obtained from them and how these could play a role towards achieving goals 14 and 15 that ultimately would also cater to goal 3, that being the health and wellbeing of all.
