The second function of ''E.D. Frosti'' is the anti-freeze function using Anti Freeze Proteins (AFP), then you can use the bacteria as anti-freeze biofilms on roads, which would help the roads become ice and snow free in winters. The signal is black color induced by melanin pigment if the plasmid is compatible with inner genetic networks and works well. | The second function of ''E.D.
