Draft Genome of the Psychrotolerant Acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans SS3 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans SS3 is a psychrotolerant acidophile capable of growth in the range of 5° to 30°C (optimum, ≈25°C). It gains energy from the oxidation of ferrous iron and inorganic sulfur compounds and obtains organic carbon from carbon dioxide. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of

Heat-resistance of psychrotolerant Bacillus cereus vegetative cells
Spores of psychrotolerant strains of the foodborne pathogen Bacillus cereus can multiply during storage of cooked or pasteurized, refrigerated foods and can represent a risk if these cells are not eliminated during reheating of food product before consumption. We determined the heat-resistance of psychrotolerant B.

Psychrotolerant Strains of Phoma herbarum with Herbicidal Activity
The search for stress-tolerant producer strains is a key factor in the development of biological mycoherbicides. The aim of the study was to assess the herbicidal potential of phoma-like fungi. Morphological and physiological features of two Antarctic psychrotolerant strains 20-A7-1.M19 and 20-A7-1.M29 were studied.

Exploring the Habitability of the Outer Solar System Icy Moons for the Extremotolerant Yeast Rhodotorula frigidalcoholis [PDF]
We investigated the survival of the yeast Rhodotorula frigidalcoholis and analysed its RNA after exposure to icy moon conditions. Our results show how the yeast can tolerate the extreme conditions and performs metabolic functions under the exposure conditions; for example, by halting the cell cycle in order to repair. Created in BioRender.

Characterization of Mycobacterium antarcticum sp. nov., a psychrotolerant member of the genus Mycobacterium isolated from Antarctic soil. [PDF]
Most species of the genus Mycobacterium are widely distributed in soil and aquatic environments; however, there is limited understanding of their distribution and adaptation to permanently cold environments.

Psychrophilic and Psychrotolerant Yeasts
Cold habitats, defined by temperatures below 5 °C, cover much of the Earth and are vital for microbial diversity, particularly psychrophilic (cold-loving) and psychrotolerant (cold-tolerant) yeasts. These habitats, once thought lifeless, play key roles in biogeochemical cycles.

Importation of psychrotolerant fungi to Antarctica associated with wooden cargo packaging
AbstractThe harsh climatic conditions and low levels of human activity in Antarctica, relative to other regions, means few non-native species have established. However, the risk of introductions is becoming greater as human activity increases. Non-native microorganisms can be imported to Antarctica in association with fresh food, cargo and personal ...

Psychrotolerant and microaerophilic bacteria in boreal groundwater [PDF]
Abstract Growth temperature and microaerophily of 39 phylogenetically different isolates from boreal oxygen-deficient groundwater were studied. Based on growth temperatures, the isolates were mainly psychrotolerant bacteria as 35 grew at 2 degrees C and only three at 35 degrees C.

Enzymatic Activity of Psychrotolerant Antarctic Bacteria [PDF]
The Antarctic region has significant potential to study the biodiversity of microorganisms and to search for bacterial producers of glycolytic and proteolytic enzymes with new properties. The aim was to study the extracellular glycosidase and proteolytic activity of four bacteria strains isolated from black lichens of the cliffs of Galindez Island in ...
