What is Protein expression in the obligate hydrocarbon‐degrading psychrophile Oleispira antarctica RB‐8 during alkane degradation and cold tolerance about?
## Summary In cold marine environments, the obligate hydrocarbon‐degrading psychrophile __Oleispira antarctica__ RB‐8, which utilizes aliphatic alkanes almost exclusively as substrates, dominates microbial communities following oil spills. In this study, LC–MS/MS shotgun proteomics was used to identify changes in the proteome induced during growth on __n__‐alkanes and in cold temperatures. Specifically, proteins with significantly higher relative abundance during growth on tetradecane (__n__‐C~14~) at 16°C and 4°C have been quantified. During growth on __n__‐C~14~, __O__. __antarctica__ expressed a complete pathway for the terminal oxidation of __n__‐alkanes including two alkane monooxygenases, two alcohol dehydrogenases, two aldehyde dehydrogenases, a fatty‐acid‐CoA ligase, a fatty acid desaturase and associated oxidoreductases. Increased biosynthesis of these proteins ranged from 3‐ to 21‐fold compared with growth on a non‐hydrocarbon control. This study also highlights mechanisms __O__. __antarctica__ may utilize to provide it with ecological competitiveness at low temperatures. This was evidenced by an increase in spectral counts for proteins involved in flagella structure/outp
