Bacterial Ice Crystal Controlling Proteins
Across the world, many ice active bacteria utilize ice crystal controlling proteins for aid in freezing tolerance at subzero temperatures. Ice crystal controlling proteins include both antifreeze and ice nucleation proteins. Antifreeze proteins minimize freezing damage by inhibiting growth of large ice crystals, while ice nucleation proteins induce formation of embryonic ice crystals. Although ...
متن کاملIce-binding proteins that accumulate on different ice crystal planes produce distinct thermal hysteresis dynamics
Ice-binding proteins that aid the survival of freeze-avoiding, cold-adapted organisms by inhibiting the growth of endogenous ice crystals are called antifreeze proteins (AFPs). The binding of AFPs to ice causes a separation between the melting point and the freezing point of the ice crystal (thermal hysteresis, TH). TH produced by hyperactive AFPs is an order of magnitude higher than that produ...
متن کاملAnalysis of ice crystal growth for a crystal surface containing adsorbed antifreeze proteins
The adsorption of antifreeze protein (AFP) molecules to the ice crystal surface during melt growth from an AFP solution results in disturbance of the growth kinetics at the surface interface. In this paper, the growth pattern related to the potential for crystal growth as well as the crystal surface topography have been studied. The crystal shape and size were found to be strongly dependent on ...
متن کاملFrequency of Bacterial Frequency of Bacterial Contamination in Traditional Ice Cream Produced in Arak, Iran (2011)
Abstract Background and Objective: Ice cream is a suitable environment for microbial growth due to its chemical structure, ingredients, and its increased supply and demand. In the absence of hygienic considerations, it can cause poisoning. This study aimed to determine bacterial contamination in traditional ice cream produced in Arak city in 2011. Material and Methods: The samples (n= 30) were ...
متن کاملSupernumerary ice-crystal halos?
Geometric-optics singularities in the intensity profiles of refraction halos formed by randomly oriented ice crystals are softened by diffraction and decorated with fine supernumerary fringes. If the crystals have a fixed symmetry axis (as in parhelia), the geometric singularity is a square-root divergence, as in the rainbow. However, the universal curve that describes diffraction is different ...
