ShareIsolation of ice-nucleating active bacteria from the freeze-tolerant frog, Rana sylvatica.
Author(s) : LEE M. R., LEE R. E., STRONG-GUNDERSON J. M., MINGES S. R.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The paper is the first report of ice-nucleating active bacteria isolated from a vertebrate, and suggests that, as part of the gut flora in some posthibernation freeze-tolerant wood frogs, these bacteria may play a role in enhancing winter survival by promoting ice nucleation at high subzero temperatures (about -2 deg C).
