Enzymatic profiles of 11 barophilic bacteria under in situ conditions: evidence for pressure modulation of phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Barophilic bacteria are microorganisms that grow preferentially (facultative barophiles) or exclusively (obligate barophiles) under elevated hydrostatic pressure. Barophilic bacteria have been isolated from a variety of deep-sea environments. Attempts to characterize these organisms have been hampered by a lack of appropriate methodologies. A colorimetric method for the detection of 19 constitutively expressed...
