摘要

The Earth is a cold place. Most of it exists at or below the freezing point of water. Although seemingly inhospitable, such extreme environments can harbour a variety of organisms, including psychrophiles, which can withstand intense cold and by definition cannot survive at more moderate temperatures. Eukaryotic algae often dominate and form the base of the food web in cold environments. Consequently, they are ideal systems for investigating the evolution, physiology, and biochemistry of photosynthesis under frigid conditions, which has implications for the origins of life, exobiology, and climate change. Here, we explore the evolution and diversification of photosynthetic eukaryotes in permanently cold climates. We highlight the known diversity of psychrophilic algae and the unique qualities that allow them to thrive in severe ecosystems where life exists at the edge. We focus on psychrophilic green algae from the Chlamydomonadales, discussing recent discoveries and directions for future research, and argue that they are among the best available models for studying psychrophily and life at the edge in photosynthetic eukaryotes.
