Glycerol Production and Cellular Uptake Mechanisms in Rainbow Smelt
Meeting Abstract 55.1 Saturday, Jan. 5 Glycerol Production and Cellular Uptake Mechanisms in Rainbow Smelt DRIEDZIC, W. R. ; Memorial University, NL, Canada wdriedzic@mun.ca Rainbow smelt is a small (≈10cm) fish that feeds under the sea ice during winter. Freeze resistance is achieved in part by the accumulation of high levels of glycerol (200 – 400 mM). […]
