Bacteria often encounter temperature fluctuations in their natural habitats and must adapt to
survive. The molecular response of bacteria to sudden temperature upshift or downshift is …

Proteins that bind both DNA and RNA typify the ability of a single gene product to perform
multiple functions. Such DNA-and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs) have unique functional …

Bacteria have evolved a number of mechanisms for coping with stress and adapting to
changing environmental conditions. Many bacteria produce small cold shock proteins (Csp) …

The study of biochemical adaption provides fascinating insights into how organisms" work"
and how they evolve to sustain physiological function under a vast array of environmental …

Bacteria use complex strategies to coordinate temperature-dependent gene expression.
Many genes encoding heat shock proteins and virulence factors are regulated by …

Exposure to low temperatures is one of the most important plant abiotic stress factors. In this
review we describe the damages that chilling and/or freezing temperatures can cause to …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) constitute a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are traditionally
used to produce fermented foods. The industrialization of food bio-transformations increased …

Temperature influences the structural and functional properties of cellular components,
necessitating stress responses to restore homeostasis following temperature shift. Whereas …

Limited available water is the single most important factor that reduces global crop yields,
with far reaching socioeconomic implications. In North America alone, it is estimated that …

A transcription factor (TF) is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that modulates the
transcription of a set of particular genes, and thus regulates gene expression in the cell. TFs …
