After stimulation, E.D.Frosti will acquire its desired biological property, i.e. the expression of INP to induce ice formation, or the expression of a membrane-attached AFP to stimulate ice melting. Upon application in the environment at low temperatures, a cell death mechanism will kill off the cells, though the desired biological activity will remain. This mechanism ensures that the bacteria cannot overgrow in the environment. Importantly, without any preceding stimulus, no cell death will be induced at low temperatures, so our organism can be safely stored in the fridge. |
