Abstract

The growth behavior and the proteomic response after a cold shock were investigated in the psychrophilic Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis. Remarkably, no cold-induced proteins were observed in the proteome, whereas some key proteins were repressed. This suggests noticeable differences in the cold shock response between a true psychrophile and mesophiles.
