Abstract
Psychrophilic microorganisms are termed differently over the years. Back in 1902, SchmidtNielsen termed psychrophile as organisms able to grow at O°C. Morita (1975) defined psychrophiles as organisms that are able to grow at O°C with an optimal temperature at 15°C while Gounot (1986) described the term psychrotolerant; an organism previously known as facultative psyhcrophiles with a maximum temperature for growth exceeding 20°C. Despite the various ways they are described, what makes psychrophiles interesting lies in the fact that they are able to survive in extreme cold environment.
