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 from McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, is an example of a polyextremophile. H...
