The poles constitute 14% of the Earth's biosphere: The aquatic Arctic surrounded by land in
the north, and the frozen Antarctic continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean. In spite of …

Researchers have recently renewed interest in bacteriophages. Being valuable models for
the study of eukaryotic viruses, and more importantly, natural killers of bacteria …

Abstract Background Climate change threatens Earth's ice-based ecosystems which
currently offer archives and eco-evolutionary experiments in the extreme. Arctic cryopeg …

Polar oceans and sea ice cover 15% of the Earth's ocean surface, and the environment is
changing rapidly at both poles. Improving knowledge on the interactions between the …

Phages are generally described as species specific or even strain specific, implying an
inherent limitation for some to be maintained and spread in diverse bacterial communities …

Cold-active bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect and replicate at low
temperatures (≤ 4° C). Understanding remains limited of how cold-active phage–host …

ABSTRACT Poly-3-hydroxyalkanoic acids (PHAs) are bacterial storage polymers commonly
used in bioplastic production. Halophilic bacteria are industrially interesting organisms, as …

Abstract The Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has experienced significant changes in
seawater temperature over the past 50 years. This warming affects seawater and sea ice …

The aims of this review are to elucidate the spatial variation in the primary production rates
and biomasses (Chl a) of sea ice algae in the Canadian Arctic–Greenland region …

Winter to summer CO2 dynamics within landfast sea ice in McMurdo Sound (Antarctica)
were investigated using bulk ice pCO2 measurements, air‐snow‐ice CO2 fluxes, dissolved …
