Psychrobacter arenosus Bacteremia after Blood Transfusion, France
We report a case of transfusion-associated bacteremia caused by Psychrobacter arenosus. This psychrotolerant bacterium was previously isolated in 2004 from coastal sea ice and sediments in the Sea of Japan, but not from humans. P.

Culturable bacteria associated with Antarctic lichens: affiliation and psychrotolerance [PDF]
Antarctic habitats harbour yet unexplored niches for microbial communities. Among these, lichen symbioses are very long-living and stable microenvironments for bacterial colonization. In this work, we present a first assessment of the culturable fraction of bacteria associated with Antarctic lichens.

Psychrotolerant methanogenic archaea: Diversity and cold adaptation mechanisms [PDF]
Because of their diversity and abundance in a wide range of environments, particularly in cold regions, cold-adaptive archaea are expected to play a pivotal role in material recycling in cold environments. Methanogenic archaea are ubiquitous on earth and produce a large amount of methane (CH(4)) as their main carbon metabolite. Methanogens are the most

Cultivable psychrotolerant yeasts associated with Antarctic marine sponges
Unlike filamentous fungi and bacteria, very little is known about cultivable yeasts associated with marine sponges, especially those from Antarctic seas. During an expedition to King George Island, in the Antarctica, samples of 11 marine sponges were collected by scuba-diving.

The involvement of DNA methylation in the response to cold stress of two different yeast species (Naganishia antarctica, psychrophilic, and Naganishia albida, psychrotolerant), exhibiting different temperature aptitudes, has been studied.

Cold-Active, Heterotrophic Bacteria from the Highly Oligotrophic Waters of Lake Vanda, Antarctica
The permanently ice-covered lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica are distinctive ecosystems that consist strictly of microbial communities. In this study, water samples were collected from Lake Vanda, a stratified Dry Valley lake whose upper ...

Screening and characterization of amylase and cellulase activities in psychrotolerant yeasts [PDF]
Amylases and cellulases have great potential for application in industries such as food, detergent, laundry, textile, baking and biofuels. A common requirement in these fields is to reduce the temperatures of the processes, leading to a continuous search for microorganisms that secrete cold-active amylases and cellulases.

Fonsecazyma quercina sp. nov., a novel yeast species isolated from Persian oak (Quercus brantii) branch in Iran [PDF]
A taxonomic study of yeast isolates collected from the Persian oak (Quercus brantii) branch in the Zagros oak forests (Kermanshah Province, West of Iran) revealed the presence of a novel yeast species.
