Seabird and pinniped shape soil bacterial communities of their settlements in Cape Shirreff, Antarctica
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Seabirds and pinnipeds play an important role in biogeochemical cycling by transferring nutrients from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Indeed, soils rich in animal depositions have generally high organic carbon, ...
Soluble carbohydrate content variation in sanionia uncinata and polytrichastrum alpinum, two antarctic mosses with contrasting desiccation capacities
(2016)
Background: Cryptogamic vegetation dominates the ice-free areas along the Antarctic Peninsula. The two mosses Sanionia uncinata and Polytrichastrum alpinum inhabit soils with contrasting water availability. Sanionia uncinata ...
Characterization of bacterial consortia from diesel-contaminated Antarctic soils: Towards the design of tailored formulas for bioaugmentation
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
In Antarctica, the environmental conditions and the restrictions imposed by the Antarctic Treaty prevent inoculation with foreign bacteria. Therefore, our aim was to investigate native bacterial consortia which might serve ...
Passive warming effect on soil microbial community and humic substance degradation in maritime Antarctic region
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2018)
Pigments from UV-resistant Antarctic bacteria as photosensitizers in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
(2016)
Here we report the use of pigments produced by UV-resistant Antarctic bacteria as photosensitizers in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs). Pigments were obtained from red and yellow colored psychrotolerant bacteria isolated ...
Avaliação do potencial patogênico in vitro de fungos presentes em solos ornitogênicos da Antártica
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE MICROBIOLOGIAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em MicrobiologiaUFMG, 2016-02-26)
The Antarctic continent is characterized by its geographical and climatic isolation, as well as for little or no anthropogenic influence. Considered one extremophile continent, Antarctica presents conditions classified as ...
