Abstract Microbial mats in Antarctica are known to harbor microscopic organisms. Recently, comprehensive studies of the diversity of microbial mats have been conducted using genetic analysis of 16 S rRNA and 18 S rRNA genes. However, the quantitative biological contribution of each microorganism con...
