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...
