Research on psychrophilic microorganisms has entered the post-genomic era [in this chapter, psychrophilic and psychrotolerant (or psychrotrophic) microorganisms are not distinguished, and the term “psychrophilic microorganisms” is used throughout]. As of December 2006, complete genomic DNA sequences are available for the following eight psychrophilic microorganisms according to Genomes OnLine Database (http://www.genomesonline.org/): Desulfotalea psychrophila LSv54 (Rabus et al. 2004), Photobacterium profundum SS9 (Vezzi et al. 2005), Psychrobacter articus 273–4 (unpublished), Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H (Methe et al. 2005), Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125 (Medigue et al. 2005), Methanococcoides burtonii DSM6242 (unpublished), Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5 (unpublished), and Psychromonas ingrahamii 37 (unpublished). In addition, genome projects on many other psychrophilic microorganisms, including Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Polaribacter irgensii 23-P, Psychroflexus torquis ATCC 700755, Psychromonas sp. CNPT3, Shewanella livingstonensis Ac10, Shewanella violacea DSS12, and Vibrio salmonicida LFI1238, are in progress. These sequence data provide a framework for fundamental and application studies of psychrophilic microorganisms. With the aid of these data, it is possible to make global identification of proteins expressed under a particular growth condition. In this chapter, proteomic studies of psychrophilic microorganisms, which will give us an important clue to elucidate their cold-adapta-tion mechanism, are reviewed.
