Bacteriological investigation of the pollution at Syowa Station in Antarctica
Bacteriological investigation of pollution caused by human being was conducted at Syowa Station. Special attention was paid to the contamination of Enterobacteriaceae (E. coli). The soil, water, air, snow and ice were examined both at Syowa Station and Mizuho Camp. The following results were obtaine...
