Unveiling petroleum contamination’s impact on microbial trace gas scavengers in Bunger Hills, East Antarctica ...

Microbes in polar oligotrophic deserts engage in atmospheric chemosynthesis, a novel method of primary production facilitated by atmospheric electron donors, high-affinity hydrogenases and light-independent RuBisCO form IE. Bunger Hills, East Antarctica is a near-pristine and underexplored region. B...

Description
Summary:Microbes in polar oligotrophic deserts engage in atmospheric chemosynthesis, a novel method of primary production facilitated by atmospheric electron donors, high-affinity hydrogenases and light-independent RuBisCO form IE. Bunger Hills, East Antarctica is a near-pristine and underexplored region. But a hydrocarbon spill from 1985 persists to this day. We aim to explore the microbial ecology at Bunger Hills. ...
