Water and Flamingo Feces Bacterial Communities from High-Altitude Andean Lakes under Selective Antibiotic Pressure Studied by PCR-DGGE Analyses
(IntechOpen, 2015)
High-altitude Andean lakes are exposed to extreme environmental factors like high salinity, ultraviolet radiation, heavy metals, among others. As it was previously shown, these lakes are not only the habitat of a high ...
Extreme Microbiology at Laguna Socompa: A High-Altitude Andean Lake (3570 m a.s.l.) in Salta, Argentina
(Springer, 2020)
UV irradiation and the effect on microbial diversity and ecological impact was studied in Laguna Socompa, a hypersaline and moderate alkaline lake located at 3570 m a.s.l. at the base of the active Socompa volcano. The ...
Modern stromatolite ecosystems at alkaline and hipersalyne high-altitude lakes in the Argentinean Puna
(Springer, 2011)
Modern stromatolites have been so far recorded i) an hypersaline region of Hamelin Pool, Shark Bay in Western Australia , ii) shallow subtidal regions at the margin of Exuma Sound in the Bahamas , iii) fresh-water areas ...
Andean Microbial Ecosystems: Traces in Hypersaline Lakes About Life Origin
(Springer, 2020)
High-altitude Andean lakes (HAALs) represent unique environments on the Earth where one can study the biological chemistry of life in one of its most extreme versions. The Atacama Desert, Argentine Puna, and Bolivian ...
Characterization of Microbialites and Microbial Mats of the Laguna Negra Hypersaline Lake (Puna of Catamarca, Argentina)
(Springer, 2020)
Microbial carbonates provide an invaluable tool to understand biogeochemical processes in aqueous systems, especially in lacustrine and marine environments. Lakes are strongly sensitive to climatically driven environmental ...
A Harsh Life to Indigenous Proteobacteria at the Andean Mountains: Microbial Diversity and Resistance Mechanisms Towards Extreme Conditions
(Nova Science Publishers, 2011)
High-altitude Andean lake (HAAL) ecosystems of the South American Andes are almost unexplored systems of shallow lakes formed during the Tertiary geological period, distributed in the geographical area called the Puna at ...
Modern microbial mats and endoevaporites systems in Andean lakes a general approach
(Springer, 2020)
Puna wetlands and salars are a unique extreme environment all over the world, since their locations are in high-altitude saline deserts, largely influenced by volcanic activity. Ultraviolet radiation, arsenic content, high ...
Integrated Stratigraphy of the Cenozoic Andean Foreland Basin (Northern Argentina)
(IntechOpen, 2017)
The stratigraphic and sedimentologic characteristics of Cenozoic deposits in north‐western Argentina represent important tectono‐sedimentary constraints on the evolution of the Andean foreland basin in this region. This ...
Legume Diversity in the Extra Andean Patagonia
(I.K. International Publishing House, 2012)
Patagonia is one of the few cold temperate semiarid regions of the world. This territory extends from latitude 40 to 55 ֯ and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Andean piedmont in the west, and occupies nearly 786.000 km2 in ...
The Magmatic Rocks Probably Corresponding to the Andean Batholith and the Associated Metamorphic Contact Phenomena
(Springer, 2019)
The knowledge about the presence of outcropping plutonic rocks in the Argentine side of the Fuegian Andes is limited exclusively to the references about the dioritic bodies, in a wider sense, of Mount Jeu Jepén (immediately ...
