• Molecular Characterization of Cold Adaptation of Membrane Proteins in the Vibrionaceae Core-Genome 

      Kahlke, Tim; Thorvaldsen, Steinar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Cold-adaptation strategies have been studied in multiple psychrophilic organisms, especially for psychrophilic enzymes. Decreased enzyme activity caused by low temperatures as well as a higher viscosity of the aqueous environment require certain adaptations to the metabolic machinery of the cell. In addition to this, low temperature has deleterious effects on the lipid bilayer of bacterial membranes ...
