Divergence between two Antarctic species of the ciliate Euplotes, E. focardii and E. nobilii, in the expression of heat‐shock protein 70 genes
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Most organisms oppose many environmental stresses by rapidly enhancing synthesis of the highly conserved Hsp70 family of heat-shock proteins. Two ciliates which are endemic in Antarctic coastal seawater, Euplotes focardii and E. nobilii, and behave as psychrophile and psychrotroph micro-organisms, respectively, revealed a divergence in the capacity to respond to thermal stress with an activation of the...
