Bacterial diversity of autotrophic enriched cultures from remote, glacial Antarctic, Alpine and Andean aerosol, snow and soil samples

Abstract. Four different communities and one culture of au-totrophic microbial assemblages were obtained by incuba-tion of samples collected from high elevation snow in the Alps (Mt. Blanc area) and the Andes (Nevado Illimani sum-mit, Bolivia), from Antarctic aerosol (French station Dumont d’Urville...
