A global view of the biology of the cold-adapted archaeon Methanococcoides burtonii was achieved using proteomics. Proteins specific to growth at 4degreesC versus T-opt (23degreesC) were identified by mass spectrometry using the draft genome sequence of M. burtonii. mRNA levels were determined for a...
