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

This study was a first, integrating data on bacteria and microbial eukaryotes (small organisms summarized as "microorganisms," including phytoplankton). Samples were taken at two Antarctic ...

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.

Just this week, new scientific discoveries identified that some Antarctic bacteria live on air, and make their water using hydrogen as fuel. When the Southern Ocean has formed some 30 million ...

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 ...

Antarctic actinomycetes could pave the way for sustainable disease management in the banana industry, reducing reliance on pesticides and promoting a more ecological approach. As these ...

“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 ...

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 ...
