Biotechnological applications of psychrophiles [PDF]
Environmental Technology (United Kingdom), 2010 Low temperature environments are numerous on Earth and have been successfully colonized by cold-loving organisms termed psychrophiles. Cold-adapted microorganisms can be used as cell factories for the production of unstable compounds as well as for bioremediation of polluted cold soils and wastewaters.

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2013 Psychrophilic (cold-adapted) microorganisms make a major contribution to Earth's biomass and perform critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles. The vast extent and environmental diversity of Earth's cold biosphere has selected for equally diverse microbial assemblages that can include archaea, bacteria, eucarya, and viruses.

Psychrophiles: A journey of hope
Journal of Biosciences, 2021 Psychrophiles are organisms living in extremely cold conditions within the temperature range of -20°C to +10°C. These organisms survive in harsh environment by modulating their genetic make-up to thrive in extremely cold conditions. These cold-adaptations are closely associated with changes in the life forms, gene expression, and proteins, enzymes ...
