Summary
Abstract:
The extreme environment of the Dry Valleys has opposing views on the microbial diversity present. Using molecular biological techniques, a detailed study was undertaken of the prokaryotic community present in desiccated Antarctic Dry Valley mineral soils. Mineral soils were collected from the regions in the Upper Wright Valley, the labyrinth and a vertical transect from the valley floor to a peak ...
