Isolation of microalgae from antarctic soil
Microalgae are unicellular photosynthetic microorganisms which are able to survive in extreme environmental conditions, specifically low temperature, high evaporation rates as well as low water availability. Polar microalgae from the Antarctic region have received attention from researchers due to t...
