Recent progress in cryobiology and studies on the physical properties of water in biological systems at low temperatures are reviewed. The response of living cells to ice formation and the mechanism of cellular injuries occurred during both freezing and thawing processes are discussed. The survival of living cells strongly depends upon cooling and warming rates of specimens, water permeability of membranes and thermal behaviors of cell water.<BR>Calorimetric measurements of enthalpy changes of water in microbial cells during freezing and thawing processes are expected to reveal some information about the low temperature characteristics of microbes with special reference to physical states of the cell water.
