In the current scenario of climate change, the future of agriculture is uncertain. Climate
change and climate-related disasters have a direct impact on biotic and abiotic factors that …

We characterized the diversity, distribution, systematic colonization, and xerophilic
capabilities of fungi associated with the Antarctic angiosperms Colobanthus quitensis and …

The polar regions are among the most biologically constrained in the world, characterized
by cold temperatures and reduced liquid water. These limitations make them among the …

The production of pigments is a common feature that may help microorganisms to cope with
the harsh conditions found in Antarctica. They have functions such as protection against UV …

Plants' adaptations, in combination with the rhizosphere and endosphere microbiome,
ensure their survival in the extreme conditions of the Antarctic. The work aimed to quantify …

Mycobacteria are ubiquitous microorganisms and may be found in many different
environments, either associated or not to diseases. Culture-independent molecular …

Until now, world agriculture has been able to respond to the growing demand and food
security. However, in the current Climate Change scenario, agriculture's future is uncertain …

Sedimentary organic matter (OM) represents the energy supply for the shelf benthos at the
Antarctic Ocean, and has yet to be properly characterized in terms of sources and …
