Principles and biotechnological applications of bacterial ice nucleation.

Critical reviews in biotechnology - 1 Jan 1991

Margaritis A, Bassi A S

Abstract excerpt

Certain aerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, including the epiphytic plant pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae, possess a membrane protein that enables them to nucleate crystallization in supercooled water. Currently, these ice-nucleating (IN) bacteria are being used in snow making and have potential applications in the production and texturing of frozen foods, and as a replacement of silver iodide in cloud seeding. A...
