Benthic microbial communities of coastal terrestrial and ice shelf Antarctic meltwater ponds.
(Frontiers, 2015)The numerous perennial meltwater ponds distributed throughout Antarctica represent diverse and productive ecosystems central to the ecological functioning of the surrounding ultra oligotrophic environment. The dominant ... -
Characterisation of bacterioplankton communities in the meltwater ponds of Bratina Island, Victoria Land, Antarctica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2014)A unique collection of Antarctic aquatic environments (meltwater ponds) lies in close proximity on the rock and sediment-covered undulating surface of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, near Bratina Island (Victoria Land, Antarctica). ... -
Evidence of global-scale aeolian dispersal and endemism in isolated geothermal microbial communities of Antarctica
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-05-01)New evidence in aerobiology challenges the assumption that geographical isolation is an effective barrier to microbial transport. However, given the uncertainty with which aerobiological organisms are recruited into existing ... -
Groundtruthing next-gen sequencing for microbial ecology-biases and errors in community structure estimates from PCR amplicon pyrosequencing
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Analysis of microbial communities by high-throughput pyrosequencing of SSU rRNA gene PCR amplicons has transformed microbial ecology research and led to the observation that many communities contain a diverse assortment ... -
Influence of soil properties on archaeal diversity and distribution in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2014)Archaea are the least understood members of the microbial community in Antarctic mineral soils. Although their occurrence in Antarctic coastal soils has been previously documented, little is known about their distribution ...
