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

Extreme cold marine and freshwater temperatures (below 4° C) induce massive
deterioration to the cell membranes of organisms resulting in the formation of ice crystals …

Psychrophilic organisms adapted to cold environments produce molecules of relevance for
biotechnological application, in particular enzymes active at low temperatures and ice …

Climate change and the induced environmental disturbances is one of the major threats that
have a strong impact on bacterial communities in the Antarctic environment. To cope with …

In this study, we report on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) achieved by using
three bacterial strains Rhodococcus, Brevundimonas and Bacillus as reducing and capping …

Several types of natural molecules interact specifically with ice crystals. Small antifreeze
proteins (AFPs) adsorb to particular facets of ice crystals, thus inhibiting their growth …

Extremophilic microbes have adapted to thrive in ecological niches characterized by harsh
chemical/physical conditions such as, for example, very low/high temperature. Living …

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

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) or thermal hysteresis (TH) proteins are biomolecular gifts of
nature to sustain life in extremely cold environments. This family of peptides, glycopeptides …

Microbial communities in the world ocean are affected strongly by oceanic circulation,
