Xanthophyll cycles in the juniper haircap moss (Polytrichum juniperinum) and Antarctic hair grass (Deschampsia antarctica) on Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands, Maritime Antarctica)
The summer climate in Maritime Antarctica is characterised by high humidity and cloudiness with slightly above zero temperatures. Under such...

Investigating non-fungal eukaryotic diversity in snow in the Antarctic Peninsula region using DNA metabarcoding
Snow is a unique microhabitat, despite being a harsh environment, multiple life forms have adapted to survive in it. While algae, bacteria and fungi...

A comprehensive assessment of fungal communities in various habitats from an ice-free area of maritime Antarctica: diversity, distribution, and ecological trait
BackgroundIn the ice-free area of maritime Antarctica, fungi are the essential functioning group in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Until now, no...

The diversity and antibacterial activity of culturable actinobacteria isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Deschampsia antarctica (Galindez Island, Maritime Antarctic)
Antarctic actinobacteria, which can be isolated from both soils and marine sediments, demonstrate a wide range of antimicrobial activities as well as...

Intra-specific variation in lichen secondary compounds across environmental gradients on Signy Island, maritime Antarctic
Lichens produce various carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs) in response to abiotic conditions and herbivory. Although lichen CBSCs have received...

Bioprospecting the potential of the microbial community associated to Antarctic marine sediments for hydrocarbon bioremediation
Microorganisms that inhabit the cold Antarctic environment can produce ligninolytic enzymes potentially useful in bioremediation. Our study focused...

Lineages of the lichen-forming fungus Stereocaulon alpinum and their photobionts in southern South America and maritime Antarctica
Stereocaulon alpinum is a lichenized fungus commonly found in the Antarctic, circumarctic, alpine, and in mountainous areas of temperate regions. It...

Soil water content as a critical factor for stable bacterial community structure and degradative activity in maritime Antarctic soil
Recent increases in air temperature across the Antarctic Peninsula may prolong the thawing period and directly affect the soil temperature (T s ) and...
-
Diversity and enzymatic, biosurfactant and phytotoxic activities of culturable Ascomycota fungi present in marine sediments obtained near the South Shetland Islands, maritime Antarctica
We studied the culturable fungal community recovered from deep marine sediments in the maritime Antarctic, and assessed their capabilities to produce...
