Characterization of Ice Binding Proteins from Sea Ice Algae
Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014.Several polar microalgae are able to live and thrive in the extreme environment found within sea ice, where growing ice crystals may cause mechanical damage to the cells and reduce the organisms living space. Among the strategies adopted by these organis...
