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 …

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

Cryoconite is granular sediment found on glacier surfaces comprising both mineral and
biological material. Despite long having been recognised as an important glaciological and …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a unique class of proteins that bind to growing ice crystal
surfaces and arrest further ice growth. AFPs have gained a large interest for their use in …

Cold stress adversely affects plant growth, development, and yield. Also, the spatial and
geographical distribution of plant species is influenced by low temperatures. Cold stress …

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

Despite the large number of studies on glaciers, knowledge regarding biota in cryoconite
holes is limited. Cryophilic animals are often neglected in ecological studies on glacial …

Glaciers are inhabited by various cryophilic organisms ranging from single celled to
multicellular, like Tardigrada (water bears). Owing to their scattered distribution, glaciers …

Cold-adapted microorganisms represent a large fraction of biomass on Earth because of the
dominance of low-temperature environments. Extreme cold environments are mainly …

Polar environments pose extreme challenges for life due to low temperatures, limited water,
high radiation, and frozen landscapes. Despite these harsh conditions, numerous macro …
