At chill temperatures, Psez&monas ji'uorescens produces inducible extracellular protease and lipase. Their regulation by growth temperature and conditions was studied in chemostat experiments and by the use of a transcriptional fusion in the structural lipase gene. The findings suggest two levels of temperature regulation of lipase production, resulting in maximal activity at about 17°C well below the optimum for growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
