Bacteria and other single-celled microorganisms in the seas around Antarctica are strongly influenced by water temperature ...

Scientists' yearlong study on Antarctic microbial communities reveals how climate change alters bacterial and phytoplankton ...

3 To test this hypothesis, the team sequenced the bacterial DNA isolated from the guts, oral cavities, appendages, and outer protective covering of the worms they collected from Antarctic waters.

Bacteria and other single-celled microorganisms in the seas around Antarctica are strongly influenced by water temperature and the amount of sea ice. This is shown by coordinated measurements taken ...

Possible effects of this shift in microbe population could have a knock-on effect on the Antarctic ecosystem in addition to the greening effect. Atmospheric chemosynthetic bacteria—or ...

Sulfate-reducing bacteria break down a large proportion of the organic carbon in the oxygen-free zones of Earth, and in the ...

Researchers from the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) have identified and published six new genera and seven new species of Antarctic bacteria, as announced by China's 41st Antarctic ...

Bacteria that can resist nearly all antibiotics have been found in Antarctic seawater, reports the New Scientist. Björn Olsen of Uppsala University in Sweden and colleagues took seawater samples ...

“We now know that the soils of the Antarctic Peninsula, one of the polar areas most impacted by melting ice, are home to a great diversity of bacteria and that some of them are a potential ...
