Cold-Adapted Fungi: Goldmine of Biomolecules Applicable in Industry

Applied Sciences
Fungi, 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.

Discovery, Molecular Mechanisms and Industrial Applications of Cold-Active Enzymes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Cold-active enzymes constitute an attractive resource for biotechnological applications. Their high catalytic activity at temperatures below 25 ºC makes them excellent biocatalysts that eliminate the need of heating processes hampering the quality ...

2017 State-of the Science of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil (DDO) in U.S. Arctic Waters: Degradation and Fate [PDF]

, 2017
Chemical dispersants were employed on an unprecedented scale during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and could be a response option should a large spill occur in Arctic waters. The use of dispersants in response to that spill raised

Extracellular hydrolytic enzyme production by proteolytic bacteria from the Antarctic [PDF]

, 2013
Cold−adapted marine bacteria producing extracellular hydrolytic enzymes are important for their industrial application and play a key role in degradation of particulate organic matter in their natural environment.

Identification and Global Distribution of a Core Microbiome From High‐Arctic Lakes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Identification of the core microbiome from clear water lakes in the Arctic reveals non‐unique members when compared with a conceptually similar lake from a more temperate region. Biogeographic assignments revealed that the genera from this core were widespread globally within four general habitat categories.

Quantitative Ecology of Psychrophilic Microorganisms [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1966
To obtain information on the importance of psychrophiles in nature, 95 samples of soil, water, mud, and various foods were quantitatively assayed for their content of psychrophilic bacteria and fungi and also for mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria and fungi. Thousands to millions of psychrophilic bacteria were present per gram of soil and represented

An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
In an era marked by environmental challenges and the proliferation of misinformation, the fusion of art and science is a strategy to promote public understanding and appreciation of complex scientific phenomena. We illustrate how the use of extremophiles offers novel avenues for artistic exploration and emphasise the benefits of such interdisciplinary ...

Adaptation, production, and biotechnological potential of cold-adapted proteases from psychrophiles and psychrotrophs: recent overview

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Background Proteases or peptidases are an imperative class of hydrolytic enzymes capable of hydrolyzing large proteins into smaller peptides. The cold-adapted proteases show higher catalytic capacity in low temperatures as well as stability in alkaline ...

Anaerobic Psychrophiles from Lake Zub and Lake Untersee, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2009
The study of samples from Antarctica 2008 and 2009 expeditions organized and successfully conducted by Richard Hoover led to the isolation of diverse anaerobic strains with psychrotolerant and psychrophilic physiology.

Cold Adaptation of a Mesophilic Subtilisin-like Protease by Laboratory Evolution [PDF]

, 2000
Enzymes isolated from organisms native to cold environments generally exhibit higher catalytic efficiency at low temperatures and greater thermosensitivity than their mesophilic counterparts.
