Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are biological antifreezes with unique properties, including
thermal hysteresis (TH), ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI), and interaction with membranes …

The cryopreservation of gametes and embryos is a technique widely used in reproductive
biology. This technology helps in the reproductive management of domesticated animals …

Psychrophilic organisms possess several adaptive strategies which allow them to sustain
life at low temperatures between− 20 to 20° C. Studies on Antarctic psychrophiles are …

Free radical generation plays a key role in killing bacteria by antibiotics. However, radicals
are short-lived and reactive, and thus difficult to detect for the state of the art. Here we use a …

Commercial biofertilizers tend to be ineffective in cold mountainous regions due to reduced
metabolic activity of the microbial inoculants under low temperatures. Cold-adapted glacier …

Cold-adapted organisms, such as fishes, insects, plants and bacteria produce a group of
proteins known as antifreeze proteins (AFPs). The specific functions of AFPs, including …

Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are largely dominated by lichens, while shallow coastal
environments are mainly covered by macroalgae. The aim of this study was to isolate and to …

Oxidative stress is a particularly severe threat to Antarctic marine polar organisms because
they are exposed to high dissolved oxygen and to intense UV radiation. This paper reports …

High temperature is one of the major abiotic stresses that limit edible mushroom growth and
development. The understanding of physiological alterations in response to heat stress and …

Abstract The Antarctic green alga Chlamydomonas sp. UWO241 is an obligate psychrophile
that thrives in the cold (4–6° C) but is unable to survive at temperatures≥ 18° C. Little is …
