Survival and colonisation potential of photoautotrophic microorganisms within a glacierised catchment on Svalbard, High Arctic

It studied the survival and colonization potential of phototrophic microorganisms in the three terrestrial environments within a glacierised chatment on Svalbard. We show here that the new proglacial substrata can be succesfully colonised by phototrophic microbes.
