Psychrobacter arcticus is a bacterium that demonstrates remarkable resilience in one of Earth's most unforgiving habitats: permafrost. Isolated from Siberian deep-freeze soils, it thrives in constant subzero temperatures, enduring extreme cold, low nutrient availability, and high pressure. Its sophisticated cellular adaptations for cold resistance make it a critical subject for studying survival in frozen environments on Earth and beyond.
