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 Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas ficuserectae, Micrococcus cryophilus, Gram-negative genus Colwellia Strain SLW05, Marinomonas primoryensis, Euplotes focardii, Polaromonas naphthalenivorans, Rhodococus erythropolis, Moraxella sp., Repersented diatoms are Pyramimonas gelidicola, Fragilariopsis cylindrus, Fragilariopsis curta, Chaetoceros neogracile, Nitzschia frustulum; Microalgae Chloromonas brevispina, Chloromonas sp., Navicula glaciei; Eucariota: yeast Glaciozyma antarctica PI12, Leucosporidium sp. AY30, Pichia pastoris; Eucariota: moulds Coprinus psychromorbidus, Myriosclerotinia borealis, Typhula incarnata; Fungi: Antarctomyces psychrotrophicus, Typhula ishikariensis, Coprinus psychromorbidus, Flammulina velupites, Pleurotus ostreatus, Coriolus versicolor; Crustaceans: Stephos longipes; Eucariota: insects Hypogastrura nivicola, Rhagium inquisitor, Rhagium mordax, Choristoneura fumiferana, Dendroides canadensis, Tenebrio molitor, Meracantha contracta, Cucujus clavipes, Parcoblatta pennsylvanica, Oncopteltus fasciatus, Boreus westwoodi, Campaea perlata, Eurygaster maura, Pterosticus brevicornis, Thanatophilus sagax, Hypnoidus bicolor, Upis ceramboides, Anatolica polita, Thecodiplosis japonensis, Chironomids, Entomobrya nivalis, Apis cerana cerana, Uloma impressa, Ampedus lineatus, Coccinella novemnotata, Ips acuminatus, Elasmostethus interstictus, Limnoporus dissortis, Hemerobius simulans; Eucariota: tardigrades Megaphoru. Discussion: Many AFP synthetising organisms exist.
