New Cysteine-Rich Ice-Binding Protein Secreted from Antarctic Microalga, Chloromonas sp.
Many microorganisms in Antarctica survive in the cold environment there by producing ice-binding proteins (IBPs) to control the growth of ice around them. An IBP from the Antarctic freshwater microalga, Chloromonas sp., was identified and characterized. The length of the Chloromonas sp. IBP (ChloroI...
