Aim of the current study is to review organisms, naturally syntetising antifreeze proteins (AFP). Materials and methodes: A review was made of 400 published scientific articles. Results: Represented are tardigrades Megaphorura arctica, Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni, Terranova, Agrenia bidenticulata, Hypogastrura harveyi, Isotomurus schaefferi; Eucariota: Antropodes Alaskozetes antarcticus, Lithobius forficatus; Molds: Mnium cuspidatum, Polytrichum ohioense, Brachythecium salcbrosum; Eucariota: Plants Hemerocallis fulva, Solanum dulcamara, Lolium perenne, Drimys angustifolia, Dicentra cucularia, Daucus carota, Hordeum vulgare, Avena sativa, Secale cereale, Triticum aestivum, Polystichum acrostichoides, Equisetum hymenale, Lycopodium dendroideum, Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, Solanum commersonii, Ligustrum Vulgare, Ligustrum lucidum, Gynko bilobа, Populus deltoides, Quercus alba, Picea abies, Picea pungens; Eucariota: Fish Myoxocephalus scorpius, Myoxocephalus aenaeus, Limanda ferruginea, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, Osmerus mordax, Hemitripterus americanus, Clupea harengus harengus, Brachyosis rostratus, Lycodichthys dearborni, Anarhichas lupus, Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosis, Paralichthys olivaceus, Notothenia angustata, Notothenia microlepidota, Notothenia coriiceps, Notothenia coriiceps neglectia, Pleuragramma antarcticum, Dissostichus mawsoni, Boreogadus saida, Chionodraco hamatus, Chaenocephalus aceratus, Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, Microgadus tomcod, Paranotothenia magellanica, Trematomus hansoni, Trematomus borchgrevinki, Pagothenia borchgrevinki, Macrozoarces americanus, Anarhichas lupus, Hemitripterus americanus, and others. Discussion: Many AFP synthetising organisms exist.
