Comments "Life on Earth has managed to adapt to a wide range of temperatures: most living organisms blossom around 15°C, but psychrophiles and thermophiles can thrive at temperatures as extreme as –15°C and 122°C. Cellular compositions are tightly thermoregulated, in particular in microorganisms (ref 1) and in plants (ref 2), which may be exposed to large temperature variations. Much research has been recently devoted to uncover the mechanisms of temperature-controlled processes in biology."
