Recent Advances and Future Perspectives in Microbial Phototrophy in Antarctic Sea Ice
Bacteria that utilize sunlight to supplement metabolic activity are now being described in a range of ecosystems. While it is likely that phototrophy provides an important competitive advantage, the contribution that these microorganisms make to the bioenergetics of polar marine ecosystems is unknow...
