A wide sampling of rocks, colonized by microbial epi–endolithic communities, was
performed along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to 3600 m asl and sea distance from
the coast to 100 km inland along the Victoria Land Coast, Antarctica. Seventy-two rock
samples of different typology, representative of the entire survey, were selected and studied
using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to compare variation in fungal diversity
according to environmental conditions along this altitudinal and sea distance transect …
