Ice-nucleating bacteria control the order and dynamics of interfacial water
Ice-nucleating organisms play important roles in the environment. With their ability to induce ice formation at temperatures just below the ice melting point, bacteria such as Pseudomonas syringae attack plants through frost damage using specialized ice-nucleating proteins. Besides the impact on agriculture and microbial ecology, airborne P. syringae can affect atmospheric glaciation processes,...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Single-particle characterization of ice-nucleating
This manuscript presents the characterization of individual ice nucleating and ice residual particles using SEM/EDX analysis. The ice nucleating particle and ice particle residuals were collected by three different instruments. This study provides very useful information/insights on the comparison of sampling instruments/techniques for ice nuclei. The subject of the manuscript is suitable for p...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Single-particle characterization of ice-nucleating
This paper focuses on chemical characterization of ice-nucleating particles and the results from different sampling techniques are compared. The scientific results are in-teresting and the comparison of different techniques is necessary. The results from this paper are an important contribution to the fields of ice nucleation and aerosol chem-istry; however, I can only recommend this paper for ...
متن کاملTopical application of ice-nucleating-active bacteria decreases insect cold tolerance.
The majority of overwintering insects avoid lethal freezing by lowering the temperature at which ice spontaneously nucleates within their body fluids. We examined the effect of ice-nucleating-active bacteria on the cold-hardiness of the lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens, a freeze-intolerant species that overwinters by supercooling to ca. -16 degrees C. Topical application of the ice-nucleating...
متن کاملNatural Ice-Nucleating Bacteria Increase the Freezing Tolerance of the Intertidal Bivalve Geukensia demissa
Instead of avoiding freezing, freeze tolerant invertebrates actively initiate controlled ice nucleation at relatively high sub-zero temperatures in extracellular compartments. Most produce proteinaceous ice-nucleators in their hemolymph, however the intertidal bivalve mollusc Geukensia demissa lacks this ability. Instead it utilizes at least one strain of ice-nucleation active (INA) bacteria, P...
