Revealing unexplored bacterial and fungal variability in interconnected Antarctic brines [PDF]
Current Research in Microbial SciencesSubsurface Antarctic brines represent highly selective habitats shaped by extreme physicochemical conditions. Here, the microbial communities of three hypersaline brines (B2, BCR, BCM) from Boulder Clay, Northern Victoria Land, which differ in salinity ...

Antarctic fungi produce pigment with antimicrobial and antiparasitic activities. [PDF]
Braz J MicrobiolNatural pigments have received special attention from the market and industry as they could overcome the harm to health and the environmental issues caused by synthetic pigments. These pigments are commonly extracted from a wide range of organisms, and when added to products they can alter/add new physical-chemical or biological properties to them ...

A Deep Insight into the Diversity of Microfungal Communities in Arctic and Antarctic Lakes
Journal of Fungi, 2023 We assessed fungal diversity in water and sediment samples obtained from five Arctic lakes in Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard Islands, High Arctic) and five Antarctic lakes on Livingston and Deception Islands (South Shetland Islands), using DNA metabarcoding.

New record and new species of lichenized fungal genus Candelariella Müll. Arg. in Antarctica [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2022 Previously, only three Candelariella species were known from Antarctica: C. aurella, C. flava and C. vitellina. After morphologically and phylogenetically examining our collections on soil from James Ross Island, located in the north-east Antarctic ...
