Methanococcoides burtonii, a methanogen that was isolated from Ace Lake, Antarctica, has proven to be a useful model for studying the molecular mechanisms of cold adaptation in Archaea. In Ace Lake, M. burtonii only experiences temperatures below 4 degrees and nucleic acid binding proteins have been...
