The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem
M Bourquin - 2024 - infoscience.epfl.ch
Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by
glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant …
