Abstract excerpt
The enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTCase) of Moritella abyssi (OTCase(Mab)), a new, strictly psychrophilic and piezophilic bacterial species, was purified. OTCase(Mab) displays maximal activity at rather low temperatures (23 to 25 degrees C) compared to other cold-active enzymes and is m...
