Cold adapted Pseudomonas: ecology to biotechnology
The cold adapted microorganisms, psychrophiles/psychrotolerants, go through several modifications at cellular and biochemical levels to alleviate the influence of low temperature stress conditions.

Cold and hot extremozymes: industrial relevance and current trends
The development of enzymes for industrial applications relies heavily on the use of microorganisms. The intrinsic properties of microbial enzymes e.g. consistency, reproducibility and high yields along with many others, has pushed their introduction into

Some Like It Hot –Structural Changes in Extremophile Rubredoxin at 120 °C
We reveal the high temperature crystal structure of a hyperthermophilic (Pyrococcus furiosus) rubredoxin at 393 K (120 °C), together with multiple complementary structures down to 100 K. The results are compared with molecular dynamics calculations. Significant changes in H‐bonding are observed.

Understanding High-Salt and Cold Adaptation of a Polyextremophilic Enzyme
The haloarchaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi is among the few polyextremophilic organisms capable of surviving in one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth, the Deep Lake of Antarctica (−18 °C to +11.5 °C and 21–28%, w/v salt content). Hence, H.

Disappearing Kilimanjaro snow—Are we the last generation to explore equatorial glacier biodiversity?
Glaciation accompanied our human ancestors in Africa throughout the Pleistocene. Regrettably, equatorial glaciers and snow are disappearing rapidly, and we are likely the last generation who will get to know these peculiar places. Despite the permanently
