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.

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 ...

Extremophiles and their application to veterinary medicine
Irish Veterinary Journal, 2004 Extremophiles are organisms that can grow and thrive in harsh conditions, e.g., extremes of temperature, pH, salinity, radiation, pressure and oxygen tension. Thermophilic, halophilic and radiation-resistant organisms are all microbes, some of which are

Cellulases from psychrophilic microorganisms: a review
, 2011 Cellulases are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze total hydrolysis of cellulose into sugars. Cellulases are produced by various groups of microorganisms and animals; however, psychrophiles are the ideal candidates for the production of enzymes active at ...

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.
