Description The microbial world is the largest unexplored reservoir of biodiversity on the earth. It is an important frontier in biology under intensive investigations. The vast array of microbial activities and their importance to the biosphere and human economics provide strong rationale for understanding their diversity, conservation and exploitation (Verma et al. 2014). The prevailing microbial diversity in a habitat is affected by physical and chemical environmental variables. Temperature is considered as one of the most important environmental variables controlling the activities and evolution of organisms (Abou-Shanab 2007; Takacs-Vesbach et al. 2008; Kumar et al. 2013). High temperature of water and/or soil exerts pressure on microbial species leading to the selection of specific flora capable of tolerating and surviving heat under these conditions (Eugene et al. 1999; Kumar et al. 2013).
