Project aim
Cold-adapted bacteria resident in the Antarctic express proteins that have unusual properties. To date, only one metal containing protein (metalloprotein) expressed by cold-loving bacteria has been preliminarily characterised. The characterisation of cold-adapted metalloproteins will provide an innovative Australian-based research program that may lead to novel biotechnology and/or bioremediation applications.
