Psychrophilic Yeasts: Insights into Their Adaptability to Extremely Cold Environments.

ABSTRACT: Psychrophilic yeasts are distributed widely on Earth and have developed adaptation strategies to overcome the effect of low temperatures. They can adapt to low temperatures better than bacteriophyta. However, to date, their whole-genome sequences have been limited to the analysis of single strains of psychrophilic yeasts, which cannot be used to reveal their possible psychrophilic mechanisms to adapt to low temperatures accurately and comprehensively. This study aimed to compare different sources of psychrophilic yeasts at the genomic level and investigate their cold-adaptability mechanisms in a comprehensive manner. Nine genomes of known psychrophilic yeasts and three representative genomes of mesophilic yeasts were collected and annotated. Comparative genomic analysis was performed to co
