Culturable bacteria associated with Antarctic lichens: affiliation and psychrotolerance [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Biology, 2009
Antarctic habitats harbour yet unexplored niches for microbial communities. Among these, lichen symbioses are very long-living and stable microenvironments for bacterial colonization. In this work, we present a first assessment of the culturable fraction of bacteria associated with Antarctic lichens.

Assessing the impact of sewage and wastewater on antimicrobial resistance in nearshore Antarctic biofilms and sediments

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome
Background Despite being recognised as a global problem, our understanding of human-mediated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) spread to remote regions of the world is limited.

Characterization of psychrophilic bacteria with phosphorus solubilization activity and plant growth promotion

open access: yesRevista Peruana de Biología
Antarctica, a continent with one of the most hostile environments of the planet, harbors a high biodiversity of microorganisms that can be a potential source of biotechnological resources, including those capable of solubilizing phosphorus and promoting ...

Microbial endolithic community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 955-962, June 2026.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Unexpected Predator–Prey–Microbial Dynamics in the Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

Identification of Microbial Dark Matter in Antarctic Environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Numerous studies have applied molecular techniques to understand the diversity, evolution, and ecological function of Antarctic bacteria and archaea. One common technique is sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, which produces a nearly quantitative profile of

Development of Holocene lacustrine microbialites on the Iberian Peninsula: Insights into environmental and depositional controls using X‐ray CT and petrography

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1148-1184, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial mats and microbialites are common in modern and ancient saline lacustrine environments and are highly responsive to biological and environmental factors. As such, they represent important sources of high‐resolution environmental data across a wide range of geological time. Nonetheless, interpretation of fossil mats is non‐trivial due

Seasonal Variability of Precipitation‐Associated Bioaerosols, Including Viruses, and Their Links to Cloud Ice Processes and Precipitation in a Coastal City

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Viruses constitute a significant subset of bioaerosols whose roles in cloud ice processes remain understudied. Continuous observations of viruses and total airborne microbes (TAMs) in precipitation were conducted in Qingdao from March 2024 to December 2025.

High resolution data reveal fundamental steps and turns in animal movements

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Animal movement paths display substantial complexity and variability, promoting efforts to identify universal rules and models that best describe them. Using high‐resolution (≥10 Hz) movement from 43 vertebrate species spanning diverse taxa, body sizes, and lifestyles, we show that paths are universally composed of straight‐line steps ...

Surface slicks structure microbial and viral neuston in relation to biogeochemical conditions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The sea‐surface microlayer (hereafter microlayer), which forms the interface between the ocean and atmosphere, plays a key role in nutrient cycling and microbial dynamics. Coastal slicks, which are viscous and biogenic surface films, often serve as hotspots for microbial activity, yet their structure and interactions remain incompletely ...
