“…The study found six Chloromonas IBP genes (CmIBPs) and tested the biological functions of three representative CmIBPs (CmIBP1, CmIBP2, and CmIBP3) using in vitro analysis transgenic plant system, reporting CmIBP1 as the one with the most effective IRI activity. Recently, Bayer-Giraldi et al also summarized methods to determine IBP activity (TH and recrystallization inhibition) and for protein activity characterization (ice pitting assay and determination of the nucleating temperature) [152].…”

Marine organisms have developed a series of defense and adaptation strategies, permitting them to live and survive in peculiar environments, ranging from temperate to tropical and polar regions, high to low salinity areas and different light conditions, as well as are constantly exposed to variations induced by climate change and human activities. These defense strategies include the production of molecules and enzymes which may have applications for humans as well. In this review, we summarized the studies on bacterial and microalgal polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and antifreeze proteins, which can find applications in different market sectors, such as feed and cosmetic fields. For all the aforementioned compounds, the compound annual growth rate is expected to increase by 5.35–36.3% in the near future, as the market interest toward these products is on the rise. Both industries and researchers are focused on developing mechanisms to reduce production time and costs, improve yields, and discover new proteins.
