Abstract

Earth’s surface has varied environmental conditions. The cold climate can be a rich source of cold-friendly microorganisms known as psychrophiles. They play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles. However, continuous survival at low temperatures is generally considered inhumane to life but is very good for psychrophilic organisms to survive in these environments. Biochemical and physical management attributed to its innate adaptive ability to withstand the cold and the stresses associated with it. This review focuses on biochemical and physiological adaptations that use psychrophilic microorganisms under adverse conditions
