  • Ice Nucleation Proteins and inaZ. InaZ is a promoter for ice nucleation proteins, which, according to NCBI, "enable bacteria to nucleate crystallation in supercooled water". Since supercooled water is chilled below its freezing point, ice nucleation proteins form the "seed" around which ice crystals can form in the cell. The more proteins are produced, the more ice crystals will be present in a cell. See the Wikipedia entry on supercooling.
