The project explores ice-active bacteria and their role in ice formation, aiming to understand how these bacteria influence freezing processes. It employs advanced techniques to study the molecular mechanisms behind ice nucleation, with applications in climate science and food preservation.
Ice active bacteria can promote the growth of ice more effectively than any other material known.
Using specialized ice nucleating proteins (INPs), they attack plants by frost damage and, when airborne in the atmosphere, they drive ice nucleation within clouds and control global precipitation patterns.
The control INPs exert over water phase transitions has relevance for disciplines as diverse as climatology, plant pathology, biomedicine and material science.
Despite the apparent importance, the…
