Cold-active enzymes constitute an attractive resource for biotechnological applications. Their high catalytic activity at temperatures below 25 degrees C makes them excellent biocatalysts that eliminate the need of heating ...

© 2018 British Mycological SocietyNumerous endoxylanases from mesophilic fungi have been purified and characterized. However, endoxylanases from cold-adapted fungi, especially those from Antarctica, have been less studied. ...

Psychrophilic and psychrotrophic yeasts able to live in extremely cold environments like Antarctica produce cold-active enzymes as part of their metabolic adaptation mechanisms. Some of these enzymes could be used for ...

tEnzymes active at low temperature are of great interest for industrial bioprocesses due to their highefficiency at a low energy cost. One of the particularities of naturally evolved cold-active enzymes istheir increased ...

The recent discovery of novel secondary metabolites of marine actinobacteria suggests that these bacteria populations add a main dimension to research about microbial natural products. Characterization of actinobacteria ...

Pseudomonas spp. is considered one of the most successful bacterial genera due to its plasticity and metabolic versatility, which has allowed it to colonize different ecosystems, including Antarctica. The ability of ...

Yeasts, widely distributed across the Earth, have successfully colonized cold environments despite their adverse conditions for life. Lower eukaryotes play important ecological roles, contributing to nutrient recycling and ...

Aquatic and soil ecosystems are rich environments in polymeric material from different structures of the organisms belonging to the three domains of life. Microbial communities play important roles in food webs, contributing ...

The influence of oenological factors on cold-active pectinases from 15 preselected indigenous yeasts belonging to Aureobasidium pullulans, Filobasidium capsuligenum, Rhodotorula dairenensis, Cryptococcus saitoi and ...
