The mechanism behind ice-forming bacteria

Researchers unlock mechanism of ice-nucleating bacteria

05-Nov-2024 - Particular „Ice-nucleating proteins“ produced by certain bacteria have the ability to control the freezing point of water – so efficiently that no other known material can compete. An interdisciplinary team led by Konrad Meister from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has now uncovered ...

New insights into a mechanism that reduces the ice formation ability of bacterial ice-nucleating proteins in an acidic environment

12-Nov-2020 - Because of mild winters, ski resorts produce artificial snow to supplement the natural snowfall or extend the ski-season. Ice-nucleating proteins, extracted from the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae, can make ice better than any other known material and are already used in snow making. Researchers ...
