  28. <meta content="The sea ice microbial community plays a key role in the productivity of the Southern Ocean. Exopolysaccharide
  29. (EPS) is a major component of the exopolymer secreted by many marine bacteria to enhance survival
  30. and is abundant in sea ice brine channels, but little is known about its function there. This study investigated
  31. the effects of temperature on EPS production in batch culture by CAM025, a marine bacterium isolated from
  32. sea ice sampled from the Southern Ocean. Previous studies have shown that CAM025 is a member of the genus
  33. Pseudoalteromonas and therefore belongs to a group found to be abundant in sea ice by culture-dependent and
  34. -independent techniques. Batch cultures were grown at 2°C, 10°C, and 20°C, and cell number, optical density,
  35. pH, glucose concentration, and viscosity were monitored. The yield of EPS at 2°C and 10°C was 30 times
  36. higher than at 20°C, which is the optimum growth temperature for many psychrotolerant strains. EPS may
  37. have a cryoprotective role in brine channels of sea ice, where extremes of high salinity and low temperature
  38. impose pressures on microbial growth and survival. The EPS produced at 2°C and 10°C had a higher uronic
  39. acid content than that produced at 20°C. The availability of iron as a trace metal is of critical importance in
  40. the Southern Ocean, where it is known to limit primary production. EPS from strain CAM025 is polyanionic
  41. and may bind dissolved cations such at trace metals, and therefore the presence of bacterial EPS in the
  42. Antarctic marine environment may have important ecological implications." name="eprints.abstract" />

Exopolysaccharide&#13;
  311. (EPS) is a major component of the exopolymer secreted by many marine bacteria to enhance survival&#13;
  312. and is abundant in sea ice brine channels, but little is known about its function there. This study investigated&#13;
  313. the effects of temperature on EPS production in batch culture by CAM025, a marine bacterium isolated from&#13;
  314. sea ice sampled from the Southern Ocean. Previous studies have shown that CAM025 is a member of the genus&#13;
  315. Pseudoalteromonas and therefore belongs to a group found to be abundant in sea ice by culture-dependent and&#13;
  316. -independent techniques. Batch cultures were grown at 2°C, 10°C, and 20°C, and cell number, optical density,&#13;
  317. pH, glucose concentration, and viscosity were monitored. The yield of EPS at 2°C and 10°C was 30 times&#13;
  318. higher than at 20°C, which is the optimum growth temperature for many psychrotolerant strains. EPS may&#13;
  319. have a cryoprotective role in brine channels of sea ice, where extremes of high salinity and low temperature&#13;
  320. impose pressures on microbial growth and survival. The EPS produced at 2°C and 10°C had a higher uronic&#13;
  321. acid content than that produced at 20°C. The availability of iron as a trace metal is of critical importance in&#13;
  322. the Southern Ocean, where it is known to limit primary production. EPS from strain CAM025 is polyanionic&#13;
  323. and may bind dissolved cations such at trace metals, and therefore the presence of bacterial EPS in the&#13;
  324. Antarctic marine environment may have important ecological implications.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"> </td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270307.html">270000 Biological Sciences &gt; 270300 Microbiology &gt; 270307 Microbial Ecology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2108</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Assoc.
