This project was a continuation of ASAC project 870 (ASAC_870). The aim of the project is to assess the possible routes for the carriage of microorganisms by humans to Antarctic soil habitats. Such pathways include footwear, vehicle treads and washings of root vegetables. These have been examined an...
