Psychrophiles - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

Psychrophiles are organisms capable of growth and reproduction in cold temperatures and are often xerophilic and halophilic as well. From: Habitability of the Universe Before Earth, 2018 Richard Y. Morita, Craig L. Moyer, in Encyclopedia of Biodiversity (Second Edition), 2001 The first known species of psychrophiles described taxonomically are Vibrio (Moritella gen. nov.) marinus MP-1 and Vibrio (Colwellia gen. nov.) psychroerythrus, both isolated in 1964. The biodiversity among psychrophiles in the various cold environments has yet to be studied extensively. Nevertheless, the various species within the genera Achromobacteria, Alcaligenes, Altermonas, Aquaspirillum, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Bacteroides, Brevibacterium, Clostridium, Colwellia, Cytophaga, Flavobacterium, Gelidibacter, Methanococcoides, Methanogenium, Methanosarcina, Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Moritella, Octadecabacter, Phormidium, Photobacterium, Polaribacter, Polaromonas, Pseudomonas, Psychroserpens, Shewanella, and Vi
