More than 70% of the earth exists as cold ecosystems that have a stable temperature below or close to the freezing point of water. Cold habitats include deep ocean, alpine, and polar environments. Metabolically active bacteria have even been isolated from supercooled, high-altitude cloud droplets (238). Cold environments are often dominated by microorganisms (including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, Archaea, yeasts, cyanobacteria, fungi, and protists), and represent the most abundant cold-adapted life-forms on earth at the level of species diversity and biomass
