Much of the Earth's surface, both marine and terrestrial, is either periodically or permanently
cold. Although habitats that are largely or continuously frozen are generally considered to be …

Motivation: A rapidly increasing number of microbial genomes are sequenced by
organizations worldwide and are eventually included into various public genome data …

Motivation: Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from
environmental samples. Taxonomic and functional differences between metagenomic …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) technology is limited by low-temperature conditions preventing the
adoption of simple, unheated digesters during cold periods. Decrease in temperature has a …

Psychrophiles thriving permanently at near‐zero temperatures synthesize cold‐active
enzymes to sustain their cell cycle. Genome sequences, proteomic, and transcriptomic …

In hypersaline environments, Nanohaloarchaeota (Diapherotrites, Parvarchaeota,

Soil salinity is a major environmental stress that has been negatively affecting the growth
and productivity of rice. However, various salt-resistant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria …

The ability of cold-adapted microorganisms (generally referred to as psychrophiles) to
survive is the result of molecular evolution and adaptations which, together, counteract the …

Abiotic stress in plants pose a major threat to cereal crop production worldwide and cold
stress is also notorious for causing a decrease in plant growth and yield in wheat. The …

The ubiquitous SAR11 bacterial clade is the most abundant type of organism in the world's
oceans, but the reasons for its success are not fully elucidated. We analysed 128 surface …
