Publication by Masoumeh Kashiri: "Assessment of pathogenic traits in selected bacteria isolated from snowy environments in France and Greenland"

The first paper by Masoumeh Kashiri, a PhD student at the Dr. Brill Institute, was published in *Extremophiles*: “Assessment of pathogenic traits in selected bacteria isolated from snowy environments in France and Greenland”, which was produced as part of the ICEBIO project and is also the very first publication to emerge from this project. The new study shows that cold-adapted bacteria of the genera Peribacillus, Sphingomonas and Subtercola, isolated from snowy regions of the French Alps and Greenland, are genetically equipped primarily for survival under extreme conditions and not for clinical pathogenicity, despite isolated instances of resistance.

"Extremophiles" features original research articles, reviews, and method papers on the biology, molecular biology, structure, function, and applications of microbial life at the edges of survivability.
