Accession | GenProp0591 |
Name | psychrophile |
Type | PHENOTYPIC |
Description | Extremophilic organisms which grow and reproduce optimally at temperatures below 15 degrees Celcius and generally will not grow above 20 degrees Celcius. Also referred to as obligate pshychrophiles to contrast with facultative psychrophiles (psychrotrophs) which may grow at warmer, mesophilic temperatures as well as growing at moderately cold temperatures. |
