Exiguobacterium antarcticum es una bacteria grampositiva psicrótrofa aislada de entornos antárticos, capaz de crecer a temperaturas cercanas a la congelación. Habita suelos antárticos fríos, sedimentos y entornos asociados al hielo. Esta especie es de interés científico como organismo modelo para comprender la adaptación al frío en bacterias y para producir enzimas activas en frío con aplicaciones biotecnológicas.
