Bacteria antifreeze proteins from

Having an effect opposite to that of the antifreeze proteins are surface proteins of some bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas, Erwinia, and Xanthomonas. These proteins provide nuclei for growth of ice crystals from supercooled water.V/W... 

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are ice-binding proteins found in some organisms (such as fish, insects, plants and soil bacteria) that live at the temperature of their surroundings and encounter freezing conditions. AFPs help organisms to survive below 0°C by inhibiting ice growth. AFPs are structurally diverse, each is radically different from the others in its primary,... 

These discoveries inspired from nature are mostly from the material sciences. Examples of bio-inspiration at the molecular level are rarer antifreeze proteins/fish of the Southern Ocean, enzymes/hyperthermophilic bacteria, and surgical glues yssus of mussels are some of them.
