Abstract: | Summary A psychrotrophic bacterium Colwellia sp. NJ341 from Antarctic sea ice could grow at −5 and 22 °C, and the extent of cellular protein content and growth were greater
at low temperatures (0–10 °C) than at higher temperatures. SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated the presence of a 7 kDa cold-shock
protein. The further result of two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) showed that two proteins a and c were newly synthesized
at near-freezing temperatures. With matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis,
proteins a and c were identified as glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cold-shock protein A (CspA), respectively, which were involved in cold-adaptation at near-freezing
temperature in an Antarctic psychrophilic bacterium Colwellia sp. NJ341. |
