Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) in ocean systems
AW Decho, T Gutierrez - Frontiers in microbiology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Microbial cells (ie, bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes) in oceans secrete a diverse array of
large molecules, collectively called extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) or simply …

Microbial ecology of the cryosphere: sea ice and glacial habitats
The Earth's cryosphere comprises those regions that are cold enough for water to turn into
ice. Recent findings show that the icy realms of polar oceans, glaciers and ice sheets are …

Microbial metabolomic responses to changes in temperature and salinity along the western Antarctic Peninsula
Seasonal cycles within the marginal ice zones in polar regions include large shifts in
temperature and salinity that strongly influence microbial abundance and physiology …

Distinct summer and winter bacterial communities in the active layer of Svalbard permafrost revealed by DNA-and RNA-based analyses
The active layer of soil overlaying permafrost in the Arctic is subjected to dramatic annual
changes in temperature and soil chemistry, which likely affect bacterial activity and …

[HTML][HTML] Snow and ice ecosystems: not so extreme
Snow and ice environments cover up to 21% of the Earth's surface. They have been
regarded as extreme environments because of their low temperatures, high UV irradiation …

Stress-induced adaptive morphogenesis in bacteria
Bacteria thrive in virtually all environments. Like all other living organisms, bacteria may
encounter various types of stresses, to which cells need to adapt. In this chapter, we …

Sea ice, extremophiles and life on extra-terrestrial ocean worlds
The primary aim of this review is to highlight that sea-ice microbes would be capable of
occupying ice-associated biological niches on Europa and Enceladus. These moons are …
