More than 70% of our planet is covered by extremely cold environments, nourishing a broad
diversity of microbial life. Temperature is the most significant parameter that plays a key role …

The ability of yeast to survive freezing and thawing is most frequently considered in the
context of cryopreservation, a practical step in both industrial and research applications of …

The isolation of soil bacteria from extreme environments represents a major challenge, but
also an opportunity to characterize the metabolic potential of soil bacteria that could promote …

We studied the culturable fungal community recovered from deep marine sediments in the
maritime Antarctic, and assessed their capabilities to produce exoenzymes, emulsifiers and …

In this study, we successfully isolated two distinct yeasts from Moroccan extreme
environments. These yeasts were subjected to molecular characterization by analyzing their …

The retreat of glaciers in Antarctica has increased in the last decades due to global climate
change, influencing vegetation expansion, and soil physico-chemical and biological …

Antarctica, one of the harshest environments in the world, has been successfully colonized
by extremophilic, psychrophilic, and psychrotolerant microorganisms, facing a range of …

We evaluated the diversity and enzymatic activities of culturable fungi recovered from cotton
baits submerged for 2 years in Hennequin Lake, King George Island, and from benthic …

Background Microorganisms have evolved a number of mechanisms to thrive in cold
environments, including the production of antifreeze proteins, high levels of polyunsaturated …

In cold environments such as polar regions, microorganisms play important ecological roles,
and most of our knowledge about them comes from studies of cultivable microorganisms …
