Summary:  Six years ago we initiated a project with the intention to provide
sequences from a psychrophilic microorganism in order to explore cold adapted
features of enzymes.  Vibrio salmonicida, a psychrophilic and moderate
halophilic pathogen, which is the causative agent of cold-water vibriosis in
marine aquaculture, was selected as source.


The project developed soon into a whole genome sequencing project and further
into a functional genome project were one of our aims is to understand
environmental adaptation at a molecular level.


In the talk I will give an overview of the project and give some examples of
subprojects we are currently running to achieve our goals.
