It is well known that cold environments are predominant over the Earth and there are a great number of reports analyzing bacterial adaptations to cold. Most of these works are focused on characteristics traditionally ...

Microorganisms have evolved to colonize all biospheres, including extremely cold environments, facing several stressor conditions, mainly low/freezing temperatures. In general, terms, the strategies developed by cold-adapted ...

Antarctic notothenioid fish display specializations related to cope with their chronically cold environment, such as high triacylglycerol (TAG) content in tissues. The metabolic fate of glycerol, a product of TAG mobilization, ...

Long-term exposure to low temperatures during adult maturation might decrease fertility after cold recovery as a consequence of carryover effects on reproductive tissues. This pattern should be more pronounced in tropical ...

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 ...

Cold environments impose challenges to organisms. Polyextremophile microorganisms can survive in these conditions thanks to an array of counteracting mechanisms. Naganishia vishniacii, a yeast species hitherto only isolated ...

The Patagonian Andes possess a great variety of glaciers, large temperate ice masses, and glacially formed water bodies. Most of these environments are included in protected areas characterized by low anthropogenic impact ...
