Project description:The psychrotolerant Trichococcus patagoniensis was previously reported to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) that covers the cells, when grown at a low temperature. Although, T. patagoniensis has an optimal growth at 30 ºC, it still can grow at -5 ºC. This capability of T. patagoniensis to grow at subzero temperatures is expected to be reflected in the proteome, membrane lipid composition and/or EPS production. This study aimed to get insight into the cold adaptation mechanisms of T. patagoniensis. We compared the proteomes of cells grown at 0 and 30 ºC and the EPS that is formed.
