Psychrophiles : from biodiversity to biotechnology /
, 2008 The majority of the Earth's biosphere is cold and exposed to temperatures below 5°C throughout the year. Having evolved special mechanisms to overcome the life-endangering influence of low temperatures, psychrophiles, i.e.

Metagenomic Analysis of Low-Temperature Environments
, 2017 The Earth’s permanently cold biosphere is known to harbour abundant microbial biomass and represents a rich resource for the discovery of novel cold-adapted microorganisms, many of which form part of the ‘microbial dark matter’ which cannot be analysed ...

Cold-Adapted Fungi: Goldmine of Biomolecules Applicable in Industry
Applied SciencesFungi, which are widely distributed across the Earth, have successfully managed to colonize cold environments (e.g., polar regions, alpine ecosystems, and glaciers) despite the challenging conditions for life.

Computer simulations explain the anomalous temperature optimum in a cold-adapted enzyme
Nature Communications, 2020 Enzymes from organisms inhabiting cold environments (psychrophiles) have adapted to catalyzing chemical reactions at near freezing temperatures. Here – using molecular dynamics simulations – the authors analyze cold adaptation of psychrophilic α-amylase ...

Psychrophiles: Ecological significance and potential industrial application
South African Journal of Science, 2018 The bulk of earth’s biosphere is cold (5 °C) that sustains a broad diversity of microbial life by triggering physiological response(s) to ensure survival in cold and frozen ecosystems.
