Sediment samples obtained from three freshwater lakes and off‐shore coastal marine waters on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, Antarctica have been inoculated into selective enrichment media for purple non‐sulphur bacteria (Rhodospirillaceae). From the freshwater sediments strains of Rhodopseudomo...
