Antarcticine® marine ingredient C

Science

• The bacterial strain Pseudoalteromonas Antarctica NF₃ was isolated for the first time from mud samples collected at the bottom of a glacier (Inlet Admiralty, King George Island) by a Spanish scientific expedition in 1988. During cell growth, the bacteria produced an exopolymer of glycoproteins believed to help the bacteria retain water, adhere to surfaces and withstand cold temperatures. The cryoprotective effect is shown in the morphology change of ice crystals bound to the glycoprotein, in the same unique way as the fish antifreeze proteins.
