Antarctic marine worms survive with a little help from their bacterial friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close relatives of earthworms, polychaetes are some of the most common animals on the ocean floor, but how these species survive the low temperatures of Antarctic waters has been a mystery. Other Antarctic species, like icefish<\/a>, make their own antifreeze proteins, \u201cbut most Antarctic organisms do not produce these proteins,\u201d says Cinzia Corinaldesi, a marine ecologist at Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy.
