During a survey from January to March 1998, the occurrence of UV‐B radiation (UVBR)‐ induced DNA damage in Antarctic marine phytoplankton and bacterioplankton was investigated. Sampling was done in Ryder Bay, off the British base Rothera Station, 67°S, 68°W (British Antarctic Survey). Samples were t...
