Abstract

that can thrive and remain productive at 15°C. This strain could enable year-round biomass production in regions with colder weather, expanding the potential of environmentally friendly biomanufacturing. Our discovery also highlights the untapped natural diversity of this microorganism, which may hold the key to developing more resilient and efficient bioproduction systems.
