Abstract
In this study, we described the development of a simplified wet spinning method of the production of a novel type of porous continuous fiber based on poly-3-(R)-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). The principle of this method is precipitation of PHB dissolved in chloroform solution into the ethanol precipitation bath. The influence of various PHB concentrations and feed rates on specific surface area (measured by nitrogen absorption method) was studied. Materials were also characterized by SEM. Surface areas of fibers achieved by wet spinning were in the range of tens of m2.g-1, and the biggest surface area value was 55 m2.g-1. The average diameter of fibers was in the range of 20-120 μm and was dependent on both PHB concentration and feed rate. Optimum conditions for reaching stable fibers of high surface area were 3-5 % w.t. of PHB and feed rate 0.5-3 ml.h-1. Fibers were functionalized by adsorption of some natural plant extracts. The incorporation of active substances into fibers was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. High antioxidant and antimicrobial effect of PHB-fibers with cloves extract was found, as well as excellent long-term stability and optimal dynamics of the release of active compounds. The newly produced material would be applicable in pharmacy, cosmetics, and wound healing.

Abstract
Using 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, ethylene glycol, and poly(ethylene glycol) as raw materials and ethylene glycol antimony as a catalyst, poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate) (PEF) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) copolymers (PEGFs) were synthesized by transesterification by changing the molecular weight of PEG (from 600 to 10,000 g/mol) and the PEG content (from 10 to 60 wt %). The thermal, hydrophilic, degradation, and spinnility characteristics of these copolymers were then investigated. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that PEGF is thermally stable at 62 °C, much lower than the temperature for PEF. The intrinsic viscosity of the obtained copolyester was between 0.67 and 0.99 dL/g, which is higher than the viscosity value of PEF. The contact angle experiment shows that the hydrophilicity of PEGFs is improved (the surface contact angle is reduced from 91.9 to 63.3°), which gives PEGFs a certain degradability, and the maximum mass loss can reach approximately 15%. Melt spinning experiments show that the PEGF polymer has poor spinnability, but the mechanical properties of the polymer monofilament are better.

Abstract
Extreme niches are offered with unusual physiochemical conditions that impose stress to the life-forms including microbial communities. Microbes have evolved unique physiology and genetics to interact dynamically with extreme environments for their adaptation and survival. Amongst the several adaptive features of microbes in stressed conditions, polyhydroxyalkanoates synthesis is a crucial strategy of many bacteria and archaea to reserve carbon and energy inside the cell. Apart from the relevance of PHA to microbial world, these intracellular polyesters are seen as essential biological macromolecules for the bio-material industry owing to their plastic-like properties, biodegradable and eco-friendly nature. Recently, much attention has been attracted by the microbes of extreme habitats for a new source of industrially suited PHA producers and novel PHA with unique properties. Therefore, the current review is focused on the critical evaluation of microbes from extreme niches for PHA production and opportunities for the development of commercially feasible PHA bioprocess.

Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates and Extracellular Products Using Pseudomonas Corrugata and P. Mediterranea: A Review. Bioengineering (Basel) 2019; 6:bioengineering6040105.

Abstract
Some strains of Pseudomonas corrugata (Pco) and P. mediterranea (Pme) efficiently synthesize medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates elastomers (mcl-PHA) and extracellular products on related and unrelated carbon sources. Yield and composition are dependent on the strain, carbon source, fermentation process, and any additives. Selected Pco strains produce amorphous and sticky mcl-PHA, whereas strains of Pme produce, on high grade and partially refined biodiesel glycerol, a distinctive filmable PHA, very different from the conventional microbial mcl-PHA, suitable for making blends with polylactide acid. However, the yields still need to be improved and production costs lowered. An integrated process has been developed to recover intracellular mcl-PHA and extracellular bioactive molecules. Transcriptional regulation studies during PHA production contribute to understanding the metabolic potential of Pco and Pme strains. Data available suggest that pha biosynthesis genes and their regulations will be helpful to develop new, integrated strategies for cost-effective production.

Abstract
In this study, six genes involved in β-oxidation pathway of P. mendocina NK-01 were deleted to construct mutant strains NKU-∆β1 and NKU-∆β5. Compared with the wild strain NKU, the mcl-PHA titers of NKU-∆β5 were respectively increased by 5.58- and 4.85-fold for culturing with sodium octanoate and sodium decanoate. And the mcl-PHA titers of NKU-∆β1 was increased by 10.02-fold for culturing with dodecanoic acid. The contents of dominant monomers 3-hydroxydecanoate (3HD) and 3-hydroxydodecanoate (3HDD) of the mcl-PHA synthesized by NKU-∆β5 were obviously increased to 90.01 and 58.60 mol%, respectively. Further deletion of genes phaG and phaZ, the 3HD and 3HDD contents were further improved to 94.71 and 68.67 mol%, respectively. The highest molecular weight of mcl-PHA obtained in this study was 80.79 × 104 Da, which was higher than the previously reported mcl-PHA. With the increase of dominant monomer contents, the synthesized mcl-PHA showed better thermal properties, mechanical properties and crystallization properties. Interestingly, the cell size of NKU-∆β5 was larger than that of NKU due to the accumulation of more PHA granules. This study indicated that a systematically metabolic engineering approach for P. mendocina NK-01 could significantly improve the mcl-PHA titer, dominant monomer contents and physical properties of mcl-PHA.

Abstract
Stereoselective polymerization of chiral or prochiral monomers is a powerful method to produce high-performance stereoregular crystalline polymeric materials. However, for monomers with two stereogenic centers, it is generally necessary to separate diastereomers before polymerization, resulting in substantial material loss and added energy cost associated with the separation and purification process. Here we report a diastereoselective polymerization methodology enabled by catalysts that directly polymerize mixtures of eight-membered diolide (8DL) monomers with varying starting ratios of chiral racemic (rac) and achiral meso diastereomers into stereosequenced crystalline polyhydroxyalkanoates with isotactic and syndiotactic stereodiblock or stereotapered block microstructures. These polymers show enhanced ductility and toughness relative to polymers of pure rac-8DL, subject to tuning by variation of the diastereomeric ratio and structure of the 8DL monomers.

Abstract
Optimization of intracellular biosynthesis process involving regulation of multiple gene expressions is dependent on the efficient and accurate expression of each expression unit independently. However, challenges of analyzing intermediate products seriously hinder the application of high throughput assays. This study aimed to develop an engineering approach for unsterile production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) or (P3HB4HB) by recombinant Halomonas bluephagenesis (H. bluephagenesis) constructed via coupling the design of GFP-mediated transcriptional mapping and high-resolution control of gene expressions (HRCGE), which consists of two inducible systems with high- and low-dynamic ranges employed to search the exquisite transcription level of each expression module in the presence of γ-butyrolactone, the intermediate for 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB) synthesis. It has been successful to generate a recombinant H. bluephagenesis, namely TD68-194, able to produce over 36 g/L P3HB4HB consisting of 16 mol% 4HB during a 7-L lab-scale fed-batch growth process, of which cell dry weight and PHA content reached up to 48.22 g/L and 74.67%, respectively, in 36 h cultivation. HRCGE has been found useful for metabolic pathway construction.

Abstract
Biopolyesters represent a large family that can be obtained by polymerization of variable bio-derived hydroxyalkanoic acids. The monomer composition, molecular weight of the biopolyesters can affect the properties and applications of the polyesters. The majority of biopolyesters can either be biosynthesized from natural biofeedstocks or semi-synthesized (biopreparation of monomers followed by the chemical polymerization of the monomers). With the fast development of synthetic biology and biosynthesis techniques, the biosynthesis of unnatural biopolyesters (like lactate containing and aromatic biopolyesters) with improved performance and function has been a tendency. The presence of novel preparation methods, novel monomer composition has also significantly affected the properties, functions and applications of the biopolyesters. Due to the properties of biodegradability and biocompatibility, biopolyesters have great potential in biomedical applications (as implanting or covering biomaterials, drug carriers). Moreover, biopolyesters can be fused with other functional ingredients to achieve novel applications or improved functions. This study summarizes and compares the updated preparation methods of representative biopolyesters, also introduces the current status and future trends of their applications in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a family of natural biopolyesters, are widely used in many applications, especially in biomedicine. Since they are produced by a variety of microorganisms, they possess special properties that synthetic polyesters do not have. Their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity are the crucial properties that make these biologically produced thermoplastics and elastomers suitable for their applications as biomaterials. Bacterial or archaeal fermentation by the combination of different carbohydrates or by the addition of specific inductors allows the bioproduction of a great variety of members from the PHAs family with diverse material properties. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and its copolymers, such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHVB) or poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB4HB), are the most frequently used PHAs in the field of biomedicine. PHAs have been used in implantology as sutures and valves, in tissue engineering as bone graft substitutes, cartilage, stents for nerve repair, and cardiovascular patches. Due to their good biodegradability in the body and their breakdown products being unhazardous, they have also been remarkably applied as drug carriers for delivery systems. As lately there has been considerable and growing interest in the use of PHAs as biomaterials and their application in the field of medicine, this review provides an insight into the most recent scientific studies and advances in PHAs exploitation in biomedicine.

Abstract
Industrial biotechnology aims to compete as a stronger alternative ensuring environmental friendly microbial-based production that seeks to curb the predicament of pollution. However, the high cost of bioprocessing is a severe drawback, and therefore, new approaches must be developed to overcome this challenge. Halophiles have shown potentials of overcoming this challenge and are of much preference for unsterile and continuous contamination-free bioprocess due to their unique ability to grow under harsh environmental conditions. Recent advances in genetic manipulations have been established to better the performance of halophiles for industrial applications. Many researchers produced various products such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), ectoines, biosurfactants, and antioxidants using halophiles, and further efforts have been established to develop halophiles as the foundation for low-cost bioprocess. This paper provides a useful reference for researchers on the merits, drawbacks, achievements, and application of halophiles for bioproduction.

Temperature as competitive strategy determining factor in pulse-fed aerobic bioreactors. ISME JOURNAL 2019; 13:3112-3125.

Abstract
Exposing a microbial community to alternating absence and presence of carbon substrate in aerobic conditions is an effective strategy for enrichment of storage polymers (polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB) producing microorganisms. In this work we investigate to which extent intermediate storage polymer production is a temperature independent microbial competition determining factor. Eight parallel bioreactors were operated in the temperature range of 20-40 °C, but intermediate storage polymer production was only obtained at 25-35 °C. Besides PHB production and consumption, cell decay and subsequent cryptic growth on lysis products was found to determine process properties and the microbial community structure at all operational temperatures. At 40 °C decay processes cannot be overcome with additional energy from storage polymers, and fast-growing microorganisms dominate the system. At 20 °C, highly competitive communities with ambiguous storage properties were enriched. The results described here demonstrate that a rigorous experimental approach could aid in the understanding of competitive strategies in microbial communities.

Exploiting the natural poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) production capacity of Antarctic Pseudomonas strains: from unique phenotypes to novel biopolymers. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 46:1139-1153.

Abstract
Abstract
Extreme environments are a unique source of microorganisms encoding metabolic capacities that remain largely unexplored. In this work, we isolated two Antarctic bacterial strains able to produce poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs), which were classified after 16S rRNA analysis as Pseudomonas sp. MPC5 and MPC6. The MPC6 strain presented nearly the same specific growth rate whether subjected to a temperature of 4 °C 0.18 (1/h) or 30 °C 0.2 (1/h) on glycerol. Both Pseudomonas strains produced high levels of PHAs and exopolysaccharides from glycerol at 4 °C and 30 °C in batch cultures, an attribute that has not been previously described for bacteria of this genus. The MPC5 strain produced the distinctive medium-chain-length-PHA whereas Pseudomonas sp. MPC6 synthesized a novel polyoxoester composed of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate-co-3-hydroxyoctanoate-co-3-hydroxydecanoate-co-3-hydroxydodecanoate). Batch bioreactor production of PHAs in MPC6 resulted in a titer of 2.6 (g/L) and 1.3 (g/L), accumulating 47.3% and 34.5% of the cell dry mass as PHA, at 30 and 4 °C, respectively. This study paves the way for using Antarctic Pseudomonas strains for biosynthesizing novel PHAs from low-cost substrates such as glycerol and the possibility to carry out the bioconversion process for biopolymer synthesis without the need for temperature control.

Abstract
PHA, a family of natural biopolymers aiming to replace non-degradable plastics for short-term usages, has been developed to include various structures such as short-chain-length (scl) and medium-chain-length (mcl) monomers as well as their copolymers. However, PHA market has been grown slowly since 1980s due to limited variety with good mechanical properties and the high production cost. Here, we review most updated strategies or approaches including metabolic engineering, synthetic biology and morphology engineering on expanding PHA diversity, reducing production cost and enhancing PHA production. The extremophilic Halomonas spp. are taken as examples to show the feasibility and challenges to develop next generation industrial biotechnology (NGIB) for producing PHA more competitively.

Abstract
In the present study, mixed and axenic submerged cultures of Cupriavidus necator and Xanthomonas campestris were performed for simultaneous and individual PHA and XG productions using palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) as substrate. Rotational Central Compound Design (RCCD) was successfully used in the optimization of individual productions of PHA (3.39 g L-1, Mw = 692.6 kDa) and XG (1.77 g L-1, Mw = 36.6 × 105 kDa). Novel simultaneous production of PHA (6.43 g L-1, Mw = 629.2 kDa) and XG (1.98 g L-1, Mw = 25.0 × 105 kDa), executed in bacterial co-cultivation, revealed to be a successful strategy to increment polymer synthesis, especially PHA. XG bioconversions followed a general trend of lower production in co-culture. Culture configurations also altered polymers properties and characteristics.

Abstract
The tremendous amount of food waste from diverse sources is an environmental burden if disposed of inappropriately. Thus, implementation of a biorefinery platform for food waste is an ideal option to pursue (e.g., production of value-added products while reducing the volume of waste). The adoption of such a process is expected to reduce the production cost of biodegradable plastics (e.g., compared to conventional routes of production using overpriced pure substrates (e.g., glucose)). This review focuses on current technologies for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from food waste. Technical details were also described to offer clear insights into diverse pretreatments for preparation of raw materials for the actual production of bioplastic (from food wastes). In this respect, particular attention was paid to fermentation technologies based on pure and mixed cultures. A clear description on the chemical modification of starch, cellulose, chitin, and caprolactone is also provided with a number of case studies (covering PHA-based products) along with a discussion on the prospects of food waste valorization approaches and their economic/technical viability.

Abstract
While screening for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producing strains, using glycerol rich by-product as carbon source, it was observed that extracellular polymers were also secreted into the culture broth. The scope of this study was to characterize both intracellular and extracellular polymers, produced by Pseudomonas putida NRRL B-14875 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis DSM 50083, mostly focusing on those novel extracellular polymers. It was found that they fall into the class of bioemulsifiers (BE), as they showed excellent emulsion stability against different hydrocarbons/oils at various pH conditions, temperature and salinity concentrations. Cytotoxicity tests revealed that BE produced by P. chlororaphis inhibited the growth of highly pigmented human melanoma cells (MNT-1) by 50% at concentrations between 150 and 200 μg/mL, while no effect was observed on normal skin primary keratinocytes and melanocytes. This is the first study reporting mcl-PHA production by P. putida NRRL B-14785 and bioemulsifier production from both P. putida and P. chlororaphis strains.

Abstract
Synthetic organogels/hydrogels are attracting growing interests due to their potential applications in biomedical fields, organic electronics, and photovoltaics. Photogelation methods for synthesis of organogels/hydrogels have been shown particularly promising because of the high efficiency and simple synthetic procedures. This study synthesized new biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-based organogels/hydrogels via UV photo-cross-linking using unsaturated PHA copolymer poly[(R)-3-hydroxyundecanoate-co-(R)-3-hydroxy-10-undecenoate] (PHU10U) with polyethylene glycol dithiol (PDT) as a photo-cross-linker. The PHU10U was synthesized by an engineered Pseudomonas entomophila and characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 13C NMR. With decreasing the molar ratio of PHU10U to PDT, both the swelling ratio and pore size were decreased. Meanwhile, increasing densities of the gel networks resulted in a higher compressive modulus. Cell cytotoxicity studies based on the CCK-8 assay on both the PHU10U precursor and PHU10U/PDT hydrogels showed that the novel PHA-based biodegradables acting as hydrogels possess good biocompatibility.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polyesters of microbial origin that can be synthesized by prokaryotes from noble sugars or lipids and from complex renewable substrates. They are an attractive alternative to conventional plastics because they are biodegradable and can be produced from renewable resources, such as the surplus of whey from dairy companies. After an in silico screening to search for ß-galactosidase and PHA polymerase genes, several bacteria were identified as potential PHA producers from whey based on their ability to hydrolyse lactose. Among them, Caulobacter segnis DSM 29236 was selected as a suitable strain to develop a process for whey surplus valorization. This microorganism accumulated 31.5% of cell dry weight (CDW) of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with a titre of 1.5 g l-1 in batch assays. Moreover, the strain accumulated 37% of CDW of PHB and 9.3 g l-1 in fed-batch mode of operation. This study reveals this species as a PHA producer and experimentally validates the in silico bioprospecting strategy for selecting microorganisms for waste re-valorization.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a group of natural biopolyesters that resemble petroleum-derived plastics in terms of physical properties but are less harmful biologically to the environment and humans. Most of the current PHA producers are heterotrophs, which require expensive feeding materials and thus contribute to the high price of PHAs. Marine photosynthetic bacteria are promising alternative microbial cell factories for cost-effective, carbon neutral and sustainable production of PHAs. In this study, Rhodovulum sulfidophilum, a marine photosynthetic purple nonsulfur bacterium with a high metabolic versatility, was evaluated for cell growth and PHA production under the influence of various media components found in previous studies. We evaluated iron, using ferric citrate, as another essential factor for cell growth and efficient PHA production and confirmed that PHA production in R. sulfidophilum was growth-associated under microaerobic and photoheterotrophic conditions. In fact, a subtle amount of iron (1 to 2 μM) was sufficient to promote rapid cell growth and biomass accumulation, as well as a high PHA volumetric productivity during the logarithmic phase. However, an excess amount of iron did not enhance the growth rate or PHA productivity. Thus, we successfully confirmed that an optimum concentration of iron, an essential nutrient, promotes cell growth in R. sulfidophilum and also enhances PHA utilization.

Abstract
Despite growing research efforts on the preparation of (bio)functional liposomes, synthetic capsules cannot reach the densities of protein loading and the control over peptide display that is achieved by natural vesicles. Herein, a microbial platform for high-yield production of lipidic nanovesicles with clickable thiol moieties in their outer corona is reported. These nanovesicles show low size dispersity, are decorated with a dense, perfectly oriented, and customizable corona of transmembrane polypeptides. Furthermore, this approach enables encapsulation of soluble proteins into the nanovesicles. Due to the mild preparation and loading conditions (absence of organic solvents, pH gradients, or detergents) and their straightforward surface functionalization, which takes advantage of the diversity of commercially available maleimide derivatives, bacteria-based proteoliposomes are an attractive eco-friendly alternative that can outperform currently used liposomes.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), of which polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is the most abundant, are polymers of bacterial origin used for various applications in the medical, industrial and agricultural fields. In the present study we worked on the selection, evaluation and improvement of the significant variables of the medium for the production of PHB by Cupriavidus necator ATCC 17697. In order to address the selection of the main factors and optimize the culture medium, a complete factorial experimental design based on the coupled response surface methodology, was presented. The model with the best adjustment of the variables turned out to be quadratic in fructose (C), linear in ammonium sulphate (N) and pH, with interaction in pH and phosphate solution (P), where the pH was the most significant (p < 0.0001) while the micro-elements solution could be neglected. Thus, optimum carbon concentration, adequate nitrogen limitation and interaction between initial pH and phosphate solution concentration are important factors to ensure a high production of PHB. The optimal values of the selected variables were C = 20 g/l, N = 1.5 g/l, P = 8.75 g/l and pH 7.5. A maximum PHB production of 4.6 g/l, obtained under these conditions, increased almost 2.5 times. The polymer accumulated in the cytoplasm of C. necator ATCC 17697 in the form of granules showed an FTIR spectrum corresponding to that of commercial PHB.

Abstract
This study investigated bio-based plastic cushioning materials foamed through water phase-change characteristics using the natural by-product wheat bran. Experiments were carried out while increasing the wheat bran content from 20% to 70% in a blended composite material of polypropylene (PP) and wheat bran (WB). From the experimental results, we were able to prepare a bio-based plastic cushion that contained a high amount of natural materials, with a bran content of over 50%. This indicates the possibility of meeting the criteria for biodegradable plastics, as well as bio-based plastics. In this study, by inducing a foaming ratio of 95% or more, a volume-expansion ratio from 16 times to over 62 times was achieved. In addition, the optimal mixing condition for inducing a high-expansion foam was when the mixing ratio of PP and WB was 50/50, and the water content of the foaming agent was 25 parts per hundred resin. Finally, dynamic cushioning characteristics of PP50/WB50 composite foam prepared in this study and Polystyrene (PS) bead based commercial products were compared. The composite foam of this study showed comparable values, confirming commercialization possibility.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are biopolymers synthesized by different microorganisms and considered substitute powers for petroleum-based plastics because they have similar mechanical properties as synthetic polymers, can be processed in a similar way and are fully biodegradable. Currently commercial PHAs are produced in fermenters using bacteria and large amounts of organic carbon sources and salts in the culture media, accounting for approximately 50% of the total production costs. A greater commercial application of the PHA is limited to a decrease in the cost of production. Several studies suggest that microalgae are a type of microorganisms that can be used to obtain PHAs at a lower cost because they have minimum nutrient requirements for growth and are photoautotrophic in nature, i.e. they use light and CO2 as their main sources of energy. Thus, this work aims to provide a review on the production of PHAs of different microalgae, focusing on the properties and composition of biopolymers, verifying the potential of using these bioplastics instead of petroleum based plastics. Studies of stimulation PHA synthesis by microalgae are still considered incipient. Still, it is clear that microalgae have the potential to produce biopolymers with lower cost and can play a vital role in the environment.

Abstract
The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is driving international demand for renewable plastics with superior qualities (e.g., full biodegradability to CO2 without harmful byproducts), as part of an expanding circular bioeconomy. Higher plants, microalgae, and cyanobacteria can drive solar-driven processes for the production of feedstocks that can be used to produce a wide variety of biodegradable plastics, as well as bioplastic-based infrastructure that can act as a long-term carbon sink. The plastic types produced, their chemical synthesis, scaled-up biorefinery concepts (e.g., plant-based methane-to-bioplastic production and co-product streams), bioplastic properties, and uses are summarized, together with the current regulatory framework and the key barriers and opportunities.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biological plastics that are sustainable alternative to synthetic ones. Numerous microorganisms have been identified as PHAs producers. They store PHAs as cellular inclusions to use as an energy source backup. They can be produced in shake flasks and in bioreactors under defined fermentation and physiological culture conditions using suitable nutrients. Their production at bioreactor scale depends on various factors such as carbon source, nutrients supply, temperature, dissolved oxygen level, pH, and production modes. Once produced, PHAs find diverse applications in multiple fields of science and technology particularly in the medical sector. The present review covers some recent developments in sustainable bioreactor scale production of PHAs and identifies some areas in which future research in this field might be focused.

Abstract
Cold-adapted microorganisms inhabiting permanently low-temperature environments were initially just a biological curiosity but have emerged as rich sources of numerous valuable tools for application in a broad spectrum of innovative technologies. To overcome the multiple challenges inherent to life in their cold habitats, these microorganisms have developed a diverse array of highly sophisticated synergistic adaptations at all levels within their cells: from cell envelope and enzyme adaptation, to cryoprotectant and chaperone production, and novel metabolic capabilities. Basic research has provided valuable insights into how these microorganisms can thrive in their challenging habitat conditions and into the mechanisms of action of the various adaptive features employed, and such insights have served as a foundation for the knowledge-based development of numerous novel biotechnological tools. In this review, we describe the current knowledge of the adaptation strategies of cold-adapted microorganisms and the biotechnological perspectives and commercial tools emerging from this knowledge. Adaptive features and, where possible, applications, in relation to membrane fatty acids, membrane pigments, the cell wall peptidoglycan layer, the lipopolysaccharide component of the outer cell membrane, compatible solutes, antifreeze and ice-nucleating proteins, extracellular polymeric substances, biosurfactants, chaperones, storage materials such as polyhydroxyalkanoates and cyanophycins and metabolic adjustments are presented and discussed.
