As the next step to a previous WSGP-funded study of cold-active proteolytic enzymes and exopolymers, this project will explore these and other enzyme/exopolymer interactions at sub-freezing temperatures. In the long-term, such studies will shed light on microbial survival strategies in extreme habitats and, ultimately, contribute new compounds and insights for biotechnological, medical and engineering applications.
