Abstract

Association between cold stress and oxidative stress was demonstrated by measuring the activity of two antioxidant enzymes and the level of free radicals generated in two batches of cells of an Antarctic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens MTCC 667, grown at 22 and 4°C. Increase in oxidative stress in cells grown at low temperature was evidenced by increase in the activity of an enzyme and also in the amount of free radicals generated, in the cold-grown cells. The association between cold stress and oxidative stress demonstrated in this investigation bolsters the concept of interlinked stress response in bacteria.
