This study comprises the first attempt to describe the planktonic bacterial communities of
lakes from Byers Peninsula, one of the most significant limnological districts in the Maritime …

The diversity, co-occurrence patterns, and assembly processes of microbial eukaryotes (0.2–
20 µ m) in Antarctic freshwater lakes are not well understood, despite their wide distribution …

Bacterial community composition during summer was analysed in surface and bottom
waters of the oligotrophic shallow (4.5 m) Lake Limnopolar (Livingston Island, South …

The bacterioplankton assemblages of eight maritime Antarctic lakes with a wide range of
trophic status and geographic span (six lakes from Hope Bay, Antarctic Peninsula and two …

Coastal areas of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) constitute a rich and biodiverse marine
zone. Despite these ecosystems being supported by the microorganism's activity, the …

Abstract Byers Peninsula (Livingston Island, Antarctica), the largest seasonally ice-free
region of the Maritime Antarctica, holds a large number of lakes, ponds, and streams. The …

A summer survey was conducted on the bacterioplankton communities of seven lakes from
Byers Peninsula (Maritime Antarctica), differing in trophic and morphological characteristics …

The distinctive environmental attributes of the Southern Ocean underscore the
indispensability of microorganisms in this region. We analyzed 208 samples obtained from …

Antarctic lake ecosystems provide a rare opportunity to study the evolution and adaptation of
microorganisms to extreme conditions, as well as to discover new species useful for …

Abstract The James Ross archipelago houses numerous lakes and ponds. In this region, a
vast diatom and cyanobacterial variety has been reported; however, the prokaryotic diversity …
