Highly simplified microbial communities colonise rocks and soils of continental Antarctica ice‐ free deserts. These two habitats impose different selection pressures on organisms, yet the …
Soil microbiomes within oligotrophic cold deserts are extraordinarily diverse. Increasingly, oligotrophic sites with low levels of phototrophic primary producers are reported, leading …
Highly adapted and often endemic microbial taxa inhabit soils and rocks of extremely cold and dry Antarctic deserts. However, the source populations of these organisms have not yet …

This review compiles principal data on Antarctic cynobacteria published in recent decades and focuses on the diversity, environmental adaptations, and ecotypes of these …
Bioenergy represents a major type of renewable energy. Bioenergy is part of a larger bioeconomy, including agriculture, forestry and manufacturing. Bioenergy typically …
The inland soils found on the Antarctic continent represent one of the more challenging environments for microbial life on Earth. Nevertheless, Antarctic soils harbor unique …
