The bulk of earth's biosphere is cold (< 5 C) that sustains a broad diversity of microbial life by
triggering physiological response (s) to ensure survival in cold and frozen ecosystems. The …

This chapter presents data on the mycobiota of Arctic permafrost. Populations of fungi in
permafrost samples are microfocal, that's why increasing numbers of colony forming units …

Antarctic permafrost soils have not received as much geocryological and biological study as
has been devoted to the ice sheet, though the permafrost is more stable and older and …

This study describes the biodiversity of the indigenous microbial community in the sodium-
chloride water brines (cryopegs) derived from ancient marine sediments and sandwiched …

Fungi of the genus Penicillium isolated from little studied habitats are able to synthesize both
previously known and new physiologically active compounds with diverse structures. They …

Fungi and yeasts isolated in pure culture from Antarctic permafrost collected at different
depths in the McMurdo Dry Valleys were identified with cultural, physiological and molecular …

Here we report the characterization of fungi from 10 accretion ice sections (3300–5100 y
old) as well as two deep glacial ice sections that are close to the bottom of the glacier (1 000 …

The use of rare earth elements (REE) in diverse areas of the world economy (eg, industry,
agriculture, medicine) has been significantly increased during the last decades. The mineral …

Comparative characterization of Geomyces isolates was performed. The isolates were
obtained from Arctic cryopegs and the surrounding ancient marine deposits, from nonsaline …

Abstract The Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Himalaya (HKKH) range is called the third pole of
the world due to heavy ice storage. Passu Glacier is one of the HKKH range glaciers in …
