Abstract:
Elevated hydrostatic pressure can influence gene and protein expression in both 1 atmosphere-adapted and high pressure-adapted microorganisms. Here we review experiments documenting these effects and describe their significance towards understanding the molecular bases of life in deep-sea high pressure environments.
