Ice-binding proteins (IBP) facilitate survival under extreme conditions in diverse life forms.
IBPs in polar fishes block further growth of internalized environmental ice and inhibit ice …

By natural selection, organisms evolve different solutions to cope with extremely cold
weather. The emergence of an antifreeze protein gene is one of the most momentous …

Microplastics (MPs) in the environment usually undergo extensive weathering and can
transport pollutants to organisms once being ingested. However, the transportation …

Microplastics (MPs) can enrich pollutants after being released into the environment, and the
contaminants-loaded MPs are usually ingested by organisms, resulting in a potential dual …

Ice nucleation is an important process in numerous environmental systems such as
atmospheric aerosol droplets or biological tissues. Here we analyze two widely used …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) share two related properties: the ability to depress the freezing
temperature below the melting point of ice (thermal hysteresis; TH); and the ability to inhibit …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs), characterized by their ability to separate the melting and growth
temperatures of ice and to inhibit ice recrystallization, play an important role in cold …

The inhibition of ice recrystallization (RI) processes in frozen sucrose solutions containing
antifreeze proteins (AFP I, AFP III and AFGP), hydrocolloids (sodium alginate, κ …

Use of low-dosage hydrate inhibitors in oil and gas field applications has been limited
mainly because there are uncertainties related to their efficiency in preventing hydrate …

In this study, a novel recombinant type I antifreeze protein analogue (rAFP) was produced
and secreted by Lactococcus lactis, a food-grade microorganism of major commercial …
