A psychrophile can survive in the range of 0 - 20 degrees Celsius but optimally at about 15 degrees Celsius or less. They are typically found in polar habitats.

A psychrotroph can survive at a similar, but larger range than a psychrophile. It can survive from 0 - 35 degrees Celsius but optimally at 20 - 30 degrees Celsius These organisms can be found in refrigerated spoiled food.

Psychrophiles are microorganisms that thrive in cold temperatures, typically below 15°C, while psychrotrophs are capable of growing at refrigeration temperatures (0-7°C) but have an optimal growth range of 20-30°C. Psychrophiles are better adapted to extremely cold environments, while psychrotrophs can grow in both cold and moderate temperatures.
