Characterization and Application of psychrophilic bacteria in Antarctica to design of functional foods

The aim of this study, therefore, is to design the fermented foods that are adaptable to low temperature, using psychrophilic bacteria isolated from Antarctica as starters, and to improve the physical properties of foods by using psychrophilic enzymes produced by psychrophilic bacteria. Bald rockcods, starfishes, sea urchins, and moss isolated from the surrounding area of Syowa Station mainly sampled as sources of psychrophilic bacteria were followed by enrichment culture. In Japan, the media inoculated with the enrichment samples were incubated at 4 oC for more than one week, we could confirm bacterial growth in some samples.
