Yeasts are a versatile group of eukaryotic microorganisms,
exhibiting heterogeneous nutritional profiles and an extraordinary
ability to survive in a wide range of natural and man-associated
ecosystems, including cold habitats. Cold-adapted yeasts inhabit
numerous low-temperature environments where they are subjected to
seasonal or permanent cold conditions. Hence, they have evolved a
number of adaptation strategies with regard to growth and
reproduction, metabolic activities, survival and protection. Due to
their distinctive ability to thrive successfully at low and even
subzero temperatures, cold-adapted yeasts are increasingly
attracting attention in basic science and industry for their
enormous biotechnological potential. This book presents our current
understanding of the diversity and ecology of cold-adapted yeasts
in worldwide cold ecosystems, their adaptation strategies, and
their biotechnological significance. Special emphasis is placed on
the exploitation of cold-adapted yeasts as a source of cold-active
enzymes and biopolymers, as well as their benefits for food
microbiology, bioremediation and biocontrol. Further, aspects of
food biodeterioration are considered.
