Antibiotic-resistant microbes pose one of the biggest challenges of the current century. While
areas with proximity to human impact are closely studied, a lot is yet to learn about …

The bacterial populations associated with sea ice sampled from Antarctic coastal areas were
investigated by use of a phenotypic approach and a phylogenetic approach based on genes …

Microorganisms perform many important functions in Arctic and Antarctic environments, but
their activity and occurrence can be difficult to detect. At sub-zero temperatures, many …

A combination of culture-dependent and culture-independent methodologies (Bacteria and
Archaea 16S rRNA gene clone library analyses) was used to determine the microbial …

It was once a long-held view that the Antarctic was a pristine environment with low biomass,
low biodiversity and low rates of microbial activity. However, as the intensity of scientific …

The considerable microbial diversity of soils and key role in biogeochemical cycling have
led to growing interest in their global distribution and the impact that environmental change …

The viable and non‐viable fractions of the bacterial community in a 2347‐year‐old
permafrost soil from Spitsbergen were subjected to a comprehensive investigation using …

Recent advances in knowledge of patterns of biogeography in terrestrial eukaryotic
organisms have led to a fundamental paradigm shift in understanding of the controls and …

It has been proposed that Antarctic environments select microorganisms with unique
biochemical adaptations, based on the tenet 'Everything is everywhere, but, the environment …

One of the most prominent manifestations of climate change is the changing Arctic sea-ice
regime with a reduction in the summer sea-ice extent and a shift from thicker, perennial …
