Transfer of Enterococcus faecalis to a cold temperature (8 degrees C for 4 to 30 h) led to increased expression of 11 cold shock proteins (CSPs). Furthermore, this mesophilic prokaryote synthesized 10 cold acclimation proteins, five of them distinct from CSPs, during continuous growth (4 days) at the same temperature (8 degrees C).
